So, is the UMD a failure?

We have high taxes in Europe (and often seem to pay extra), the recently released Patapon 2 costs €29.99 including taxes here on the PSN and only $19.99 on the US store.

Still not that bad IMO, there are also cheaper games like Super Stardust Portable or Riff: Every Day shooter for only €7.99. So maybe online distribution won't be so bad for the budget gamer.

 

29.99€ seems to be a fair price for a new game. I would welcome it as an average price setting for new PSP games.
