Capcom: How Much Do You Want Bionic Commando Rearmed to Cost?

Capcom asks us today, 'how much do you want Bionic Commando: Rearmed to cost?' Do you want to spend $10 or $15?

"Some think that we can go the simple "meta-emulation" route, put on a fresh coat of paint, and release the game without any tweaks or new modes," said Ben Judd on the Bionic Commando Blog, "After all, that is the standard right now. Most of these games sell for $10 but aren't anywhere near the quality of BCR."

Just because I like Rock Band songs, I'd say $10 would be good for me. But as of this morning, there was an unanimous $15 tag on the game.
