: Trim The Fat: Sony Considers Lower CD Prices With Fewer Tracks Per Album. I would love this idea, but wouldn't margins suffer? The costs for producing a CD would not decrease significantly with fewer tracks. Marketing and promotion costs would stay constant, packaging and distro stay constant. The producer probably will not take much less.. so now you're left with studio time... a small part of the equation. Why not just less money for the same amount of content? Seems Sony is always trying to nickel and dime itself to death.
P.S. I think the PSP looks goofy. I'll stick with my GBA.
