I really want Zero Escape, loved the demo. Yet.... I have chosen to truely speak with my money for now on. Boycotting Portable games starting at $50 and I refuse t pay full $40 for a game that is mostly text, uses 1st person to mask the fact the rooms are simple boxes, and numerous other short cuts that prove to me it is not worth that much. It truly is a fun and inventive game.....just not worth that price. I will run and get it immediately once it hits 20, maaaaaaayybe at 30. I am doing the same thing with Smart As, drop the price and they are as good as mine.

I mostly agree.  Some games just aren't worth the 40-50 dollar asking price.  I got Corpse Party last year for review, and was bored as hell with it.  Great story, some decent puzzles, but it really wasn't a game as much as an interactive manga.  True shame, too. 

OMG, I thought the same exact way about corpse party. Its a really neat idea, just done with middling assets and not worth full price. The fact it also had only Japanese dub (which I feel detracts from the fact its a horror game) really bothered me. Zero Escape has very little spoken dialogue too, yet another reason its not worth 40. I am just sick and tired of being gauged with game prices because they feel they can. This is why smartphone games are so successful, they are priced directly with value with still a little room for profit. Oh, and Uncharted got lucky with me. I was totally going to boycott it till the price dropped but I was feeling so uplifted because I just got my Vita that I caved :P. It will never happen again tho and it's inevitable sequal better be $40 from jump.
