Would 2 more buttons really make the console that much more expensive? I mean, I'm sure it probably would have considering other devices at the time still had 2 buttons as well. Starfox was sorely missing on GBA though. I doubt it was because of buttons though. L and R could be used for steering or other weapons, etc in addition to AB.

definitely, GBA launched at $100, if it had two more buttons it would probably be $150.

Damn, $25 per button, lol! What kind of times were those! I guess it had more to do with the space of the pcb than anything right?
