iPhones games will cost more than Java ME games

Holy crap! Here's a report saying that some iPhone games in Europe will cost between 17-18 euros from iTunes. That's more than 4x a gallon of ethanol-inflated gas for your car in the U.S.! Thank G*d, Java ME games are the greener alternative and still cost around the same price as a McDonald's Happy Meal (sometimes even priced instead the same as the free toy surprise inside that Happy Meal. See: Free Java ME Games)

See:

iPhone games will cost an arm and a leg

Here's a quote: 

 "Their games will be sold in iTunes 
 for €17-18," he says, in an interview 
 for our new sister site PocketGamer.biz.

 That's three and a half times the 
 standard price for Java games
Sheesh. What does it take to make iPhone games? A barrel of crude oil? :-)
