I would pay more. Much more. But, there just aren't any real games out there which cost more – and offer more. Still waiting for something like AdvanceWars, Fire Emblem, Final Fantasy, Age of the Empires, Metroid Prime Pinball, Mega Man, Mario Kart, Super Mario Bros… 20 Euros would be my max (compared to 30-40 Euros, a DS game costs).

@mavis true, I just hope that we start to see different price brackets e.g.

<= £3 for a small game (like Block Breaker Deluxe 2, Dizzy Bee, Trism)

<= £9 for a bigger game (FF09, Asphalt 4, Spore)

… These prices are peanuts compared to what you'd expect to pay for an A+ Nintendo DS game. I'd love to play some more substantial games – comparable to Advance Wars, Zelda, Mario Kart etc.

~~~ Anyone that thinks Cro-Mag and Crash Bandicoot are as good as Mario Kart *has never played Mario Kart* ~~~

I just hope we iPhone owners don't shoot ourselves in the foot.

If developers think that the market won't pay more than £10 this class of games will never appear.

I think I've finally learned my lesson: never buy apps on launch day unless the developer is smart enough to do a launch-day special.

It's nice to see prices starting to stabilize down around the $5 mark, too – hopefully as more games are launched, developers will be forced to keep prices lower …

Also glad I 'waited'. I was quite keen initially, but held off (plenty of other free and / or cheap apps to keep me busy). It is sensational value at that price, I played it all night (Australia time) and was consequently about an hour for work today It really has an almost 'Japanese' style feel about it, kind of similar to Lumines. Compared to the general consensus, I LOVE the music.

Regarding the whole price thing – this has kept me entertained for hours on end so far, for the cost of a game of pinball. Definitely something to consider and ponder as a benchmark for (a) future purchases and (b) for when I start developing some 'simple(ish)' games for the iPhone next year the sort of 'bonus' content and features.

Glad I waited. I think I'll pick it up now.

@Tkphotograph
Agree, I should also vote to have other toucharcade users who whine about other people whining to be kicked off too.
