    Rolando (iTunes link) is now $5.99! Down from $9.99! I don't know why I'm using so many exclamation marks! Do download it if you haven't already! Maybe it's a timed sale... and yeah I'm cheap, even though $10 is relatively cheap in comparison to the psp and ds, I still find it hard to justify, considering I game on very short bursts.

    I'm going to buy it. The nice thing about iphone games is that you get updates, unlike DS and PSP.

    We should have a official iphone/ipod app thread.

    That's true, maybe sam can make one! Or maybe we can just use this thread and people can start pooling in. Or someone with unlimited editing privileges can do the honors.

    Yeah it's a good idea there's so many apps out there that even browsing the App store you still miss some great ones!

    P.S That games is awesome.

    Actually PSP games can get updates :p , though not that many do.
    Anyway it's a lovely little game, and making it cheaper can only be a good thing. :D

    I just got it, saw some videos of it in HD on YouTube.

    Seemed kinda interesting for an iPhone game, so I bought it.

    Thanks for the tip :D

    *sigh* That makes it the third $9.99 game I bought within a month that dropped to $5.99. Economy, anyone? :)

    lol, William, I've noticed that trend a lot. I bought Super Monkey Ball the day it came out, but quickly realized that devs would throw weekend sales, thanksgiving sales, xmas sales, new years sales, i got laid last night sales, etc... lol. So that was the only app/game I've bought at full price, the rest, I just wait. Unless it's an app worth less than $3, in which case I buy right away.

    Beejive IM for example, is awesome. It goes for $16, got it on thanksgiving weekend for $10. And now Rolando...

    Wait a bit before buying a game for the prices to drop people! Unless of course you are loaded, then by all means. buy
