Sony Hints At Higher Priced Games
Sony's Kaz Hirai hints that, in addition to the $600 console, we may have even more expensive games to look forward to. From the Gamasutra article: "I don't think consumers expect software pricing to suddenly double. So, the quick answer is that we want to make it as affordable as possible, knowing that there is a set consumer expectation for what software has cost for the past twelve years. That's kind of the best answer I can give you. So, if it becomes a bit higher than $59, don't ding me, but, again, I don't expect it to be $100."
Alas, no mod points, but that post just totally made my day.

There are two things that are absolutely sacred right now on this site: Apple and Nintendo.
About that... I don't have anything against either Apple or Nintendo, and in fact, I think both companies market some pretty nice products. They're not products that I particularly want to buy, but I could definitely see how someone else would.
On the other hand, if someone happens to be a die-hard fan of Apple and Nintendo, I'm pretty sure he's gay. I don't mean that in the pejorative schoolyard way, but in the honest-to-goodness "sleeps with men" way. *shrug*
When someone starts going on passionately about Zelda or his MacBook, am I the only one that starts suspecting he might be a little light in the loafers?
You can't win, Darth. If you mod me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine.
Looks like FF XII may be my last FF game, unless Square comes back to Nintendo.
Unpleasantries.
