Pricing for PS3 games announcedSiggy @ Sep 26, 2006 04:57 | 67 comments
It seems like Sony is going to be taking back money lost in the console creating process by selling over-expensive games. This already traditional business strategy has been also performed by Microsoft, yet you can get Xbox 360 games almost £20 ($38) cheaper. The cost of the PS3 unit, whether it is the dropped $410 in Japan or the more costly in the US or Europe, with these expensive games, it will lighten consumers' wallet quite a bit.
PlayStation 3 will launches November 17 in the US, November 11 in Japan and March 2007 in Europe.
UPDATE: According to SlashGear Sony is taking preorders of PlayStation 3 games for "only" $59,99, which is comparable to Xbox 360 game prices. All the seven games available in Sony Style USA have the price of $59,99 and include Blazing Angels: Squadrons of WWII, Call of Duty 3, Full Auto 2: Battlelines, Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, Sonic the Hedgehog, Tony Hawk's Project 8, and Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom.

Comment by: adrian089 (Sep 30, 2006 15:53) is the ps3 even gonna have better graphics? it seems to me the ps3 is gonna cost alot more game wise and system wise than the 360. If im gonna spend 600 on a system its gonna be a computer which also plays games. i can get used to the xbox controller to play madden. |

Comment by: ZippyDSM (Sep 30, 2006 15:58) adrian089 the PS3 is a monster with the limits tooken off DVD size meaning larger textures (better graphics) and its power it should be a jump is graphics simalur to the Xbox to the 360,you will see a diffrance but in the end its just "paint" covering gameplay and thats my gripe for the past 5 years |

Comment by: Javafriek (Oct 05, 2006 21:00) They will quickly dwindle their fanbase with tactics like this. Bad Sony..Bad!  |

Comment by: ZippyDSM (Nov 07, 2006 18:31) I been thinking about the 100$ games,I think collectors Editions will be 80-100 I can see that,but the msot I have seen a new game for is 70ish so in a year or so 70-80 will be a normal top number for the PS3 mabye the 360 and mabye for PC games.  FIGHT THE M.A.F.I.A.A. Sony has declared war on importers the consumer will be next with CD's,Videos/Games not far behind that....boycott SONY! http://www.afterdawn.com/news/archive/8062.cfm |

Comment by: munkeeboy (Nov 09, 2006 02:08) yeah, what was it. halo 3 collectors edition or something, its 100$ and it comes with likke a master chieft helmet replica. so yeah. in this catalogue i got, well its a japanese one so it really doesnt apply for the price in america, but it should work for speculation. resistance fall of man is 5,980 and ridge racer is headed for 7,329. so yeah, probably 50 to around 80 bucks...there were only two lineup titles that were more than 8,000 yen. Armored Core 4 and this Train simulation game. the rest havent been announced yet. "A wide screen just makes a bad film twice as bad."

Comment by: munkeeboy (Nov 11, 2006 23:31) no kidding. i think they should have revealed alittle more a little sooner, so that customers could actually know a little more about what they were going to be spending 500$+ on. "A wide screen just makes a bad film twice as bad."
