For the PSP, this obviously gets at the rampant piracy, and also the tendency for many folks to be hesitant of paying full price for what they view as a fairly mediocre library of games on the PSP (I know we’ve discussed that, but the perception is there) … so I know loads who depend on eBay / used / trade sites for the PSP games. Sony gets *none* of any of that stuff.
As for the other things like Dragon Age / Mass Effect / Bad Company … I really don’t mind that as a means of ‘profit preservation’ … I’d rather that than they raise prices!
