Compared to the hundreds of $ it costs to purchase the arcade board, $10 is a steal. Plus, had it been released on a console or handheld, it would have probably run $29 or more. This version is very polished, challenging, and quite fun to play. As a consumer, of course I would love to get these games as inexpensively as possible, but I do feel that this is a highly competitive price point for something of this level.

They do not seem to have any amazing attributes or features to be priced at such a high pricepoint. Additionally, these are ported apps, so the value is not there! These developers will make a higher overall profit by charging less. I think that we have to start boycotting purchases until developers stop demanding these prices for these apps. That's just my opinion, but I'm not a die-hard gamer. These apps should be priced at $5.99. They do not seem to have any amazing attributes or features to be priced at such a high pricepoint.
