"DS Game Prices"

Is it just me or does £30 seem too steep for DS games? I was in Gamestation today and feeling tempted to buy Pac Pix, or whatever it's called, but was completely put off due to it being £30. Most DS games just don't seem to contain the longetivity to make them worth £30 a piece. I'm thinking this will reseult in me buying the killer apps and waiting for any ones that half interest me, like Pac Pix, until they're on the cheap. And by that time I may have lost interest completely.

Does anyone else agree?

I still only have Mario 64 on my DS. I need money (or a GAD).

I've been buying all my DS games for like £17 from a website I actually can't remember the name of because I've had a few pints too many...

order em from canadian websites would be my thoughts. free shipping ones ofcourse =) they take a while to arrive, but u can order them before they are released over here and they r cheaper

Absolutly.

Especially as the magazines were claiming they were going to be £15 as production costs were supposed to be low.

considering there arnt many worth getting, i dont mind spending 30 quid, but if and when there are a lot more games, especially round holiday time, i would hope the price is lowerd.

Yep, infact one magazine predicts Revolution games to retail at around £50. You do the maths!

That's just a ludicrous guess.

Back on topic, yes DS games are very over-priced. It's why I still haven't got Yosi and Pac-Pix, despite wanting them both. I simply don't have 30 quid to spend on a game that'll last me all of five hours. I barely have 30 quid at all right now.

Now, if they were half that price, I'd probably have both. Lower the damn prices, Ninty.

It is stupid. Either put more development time into the gamesor release on budget, Polarium stylee.

It's a shame, because Yoshi is an amazing game, but for £30 completely overpriced. Pac-Pix, another great looking game, may well be overlooked by myself because of the price. I just hope Kirby isn't another annoyingly short title, as it looks to be the best thing Nintendo have come up with yet on the DS.
