SCEE hints at a PSP PSN push

Tales of Hearts costs as much as a console game

The MSRP for Tales of Hearts in Japan is 6,650 yen or $62 American dollars. Each version costs around $62. Granted PlayStation 3 games can go for an upwards of 8,000 yen in Japan, but that doesn't ameliorate the damage done to the wallet. Good thing prices for games ...
