Or the size of the game.  For example, "small" games (less that 50 MB) could
be less expensive to rate.

Just a thought, but given that we can't define what a casual game is  
amongst ourselves (and thus probably can't expect the ESRB to know),  
it might be a better idea for the fees to be structured around the  
price point of the game.
