Baker) -To: j.t.rutherford@sms.ed.ac.uk -Subject: Nice idea but. Browsing your 24C pages I read you idea for yaroze games, nice idea but ... 7.99 - A least a third of this would be taken by retailers :- (2.6ukp ish) - At least one pound taken for production. - Probably 50 or so pence for distributers - Sonys costs, at least a couple of quid. I'm sure that there are somethings that I forgot in this price breakdown. Not a lot of cash to go round :-( . There are now some games on the shelf for 9.99 and 14.99 I think that Loaded may be one of them, there are quiet a few coming out as the market matures, i.e. publishers try to flog of the leftovers of games to make room in the warehouse. The cheap yaroze games I doubt will provide the kind of games that people want to play without a good few years worth of work being put in by one or two people, and the next gen PSX will be just arround the corner them. Brian P.S. No connection to anything important just a Yaroze owner :-)
