Why is this even an issue. Every single review anyone ever does takes into account the price. You just don't hear about it because the price is widely known and usually standard and only mentioned if there's something off about it (too high for a short game, or a good buy at a low price). In this case Sony wouldn't tell them the price so they said well we assumed it was $30 and if it's any higher than it's not as good a game for that price. Here's what you really should be thinking -- maybe the score is only as high as it is because of the budget price, and if it were any higher than the score would be lower 'cause it just doesn't stand up to full-priced games.

 This is correct, and needs to be emphasized.

As he said, mostly you don't see issues because all games are released for a standard price; for the PS3 and 360, that standard price is 60 bucks. It assumes a certain length and value. If one of these games were suddenly 300 dollars, it absolutely would get knocked down in a similar fashion.

Online games are getting more criticism these days because there is no standard price point or value yet. It's amorphous. 

And again, LOTS of Wii games have been criticized for being too short or offering too little value for the money; Big Brain Academy comes to mind immediately, as does Kororinpa. This isn't a Playstation exclusive issue, every system has price discussions. Stop acting like martyrs, please.
