Thats the beauty of the platnium range, when it sells a certain amount of copies over a year or sommin like that you can get it for £20 or hopefully £15 for a PS2 title.
If the range does hit the PS2 it's a safe bet SSX will be one of the first.

Yep - and they're still £30 after 6 years.
We rest our case! :-)

It took ages and ages before the ps1 software prices came down...
I'd agree with Aliboy.
I don't expect a drop in game prices any time soon. The price of the console will drop around Xmas and/or next spring, but the software won't. Even if it does, it won't be by much more than £5 I reckon.
More and more effort is going into the games than ever before... personally, I'm just happy the cost hasn't gone UP!

Think about it this way. You earn £5 an hour, word 8 hours and buy a game for £40.
If you spend more than 8 hours playing it, you have justified the cost. If you earn less than £5 an hour then you buy a game that will last at least the amount of hours that you had to work to get it, and people on £40 an hour can get pretty much any game and get their moneys worth.
Makes sense in a strange kinda way.

I seem not to have a problem with the price of games. Not that I'm rich or something its just that if you choose the right games the £40 you spend will be matched with many many hours of entertainment. Besides if you don't want to pay £40 for a game then you will have to wait until its going second hand.
Don't expect much of a price drop, the games aren't cheap to produce, maybe when the developer makes a decent profit then maybe the price will get lowered to a more reasonable amount.
a game goes platinum when it sells 1million or 10 million copies

Aren't Platinum collections usually the classic games on the system?
Lets face it GT3 hasn't been out for very long so I doubt they wanna drop the price yet

A budget range is coming for christmas but no word abut the platnium range.
Final Fantasy X is £50, like what the?? I've only paid £40+ for 2 games res 2 and CVX, all the rest have been about £15-£20.
