Here's my opinion. I do think that Accessible games are quite expensive. I will be purchasing the new mainstream game, Mortal Kombat: Armageddon this coming month. The game will cost $40, and the premium version, which contains a bonus disk will be 50. The Mortal Kombat games are as sound rich as you could possibly get, plus graphics. 40 bucks is quite cheap. In contrast, some of the accessible games on the market are up to 60 dollars, and only contain sound. So yes, they are quite expensive.
