Also don't forget about inflation. If the internet is to be believed from 1995 (when Chrono Trigger was released) to 2009, there's been about 40% inflation, meaning it would cost about $140 in 2009 dollars. The more common $69.99 SNES and N64 premium priced games would be nearly $100 in 2009 dollars.
EA concerned by casual game price wars, but doesn't think it will undermine industry
