@walaber – Ah! Thanks for the info. I wasn’t aware the PS3 version was crippled and I thought it included the create-a-puzzle canvas mode too. This makes a lot more sense than just tacking on UMD costs, but now I’m disappointed the PSN version won’t have canvas mode.

The latest issue of Famitsu states that the PSP version comes with over 100 puzzles and a “free mode” to create your own puzzles, as well as a few gameplay variation modes, while the PS3 version apparently only comes with 50 puzzles, and the “free mode” (it implies that the other sub-modes are not included).

I suspect if you deduct the cost of manufacturing and distribution of a PSP game along with the retailer’s slice of the pie, you’d come up with something like 1800-2000 yen going to Sony/developer/publisher. The bigger question is how many retailers are going to stock the PSP version knowing that the PSP version has a very clear price disadvantage vs the PS3 version.
