I grabbed some crack last night for 99 cents. Man, I'm half tempted to purchase more for 800 Microsoft Points.

This was the only reason I got it... but I can certainly tell you that it is an excellent game. Sadly, my iPhone attention span doesn't last that long, so for me $1 is pretty much a no-brainer price point.

Now put the Sims on sale...

The App Store market place is a strange beast. It's perhaps the only time complaining enough on the internet works. I've seen games drop in price merely because enough people on iTunes deemed the game "not work the price".

Can you imagine if that worked on retail games for the PS3 or 360? We would see games like Wolverine Uncaged go for budget price in weeks! I'm sure Raven's sales would benefit greatly as well. I know I'd buy it for 30 bucks.

You can't argue with $1 price point. Even at $5, I probably wouldn't play it enough, or my iphone in general, to justify it.

At 1$, if I play it one, it's worth while.

I don't see why other companies don't realise that if you sell your games cheap then a lot more people buy them.

Exactly. The Steam sales are proof of that - game sales can increase 3600% when they are dropped to half price. But you're still making 1800% more money!

On a slightly related note, who decided that Prototype on PC should cost £35 in the UK? Is it because Prototype is £10 better than every other game? I think not.

I bought it for 5, simply because i hadn't owned a copy and the one i had on my computer was a "trial".

I think $2.99 would be the sweet spot for games like this on the app store. At $3, I would buy the two other Popcap games, Bejeweled and Bookworm.

In fact, I just noticed Bejewled is already 2.99. App store here i come!

I was one of those who just bought peggle for $1 dollar. And while I can sort of see where the addictive nature of the game comes from I don't feel that it has justified the amount of popularity that it has gotten. Clearly though for the 99 cents i spent Im not to upset one way or another and I think that is the secret to it as well.

Peggle became my first paid-for app. If this sale trend continues, my iPod Touch will soon be laden with awesomeness.
