PS3 game prices will be fine.

In Japan games are more expensive than the US, there' s still PS2 games releasing for $75 over there.

An $84 price for japan would probably translate to about $65 in the US. Assuming foreign prices will be converted 100% exactly to the US is stupid. Take the UK, new x360 games sell for £40, £40 = $75. Oh noes that must mean X360 games are $75 in the US - wrong you fucking retard, they are $60 here.

BTW Please refrain from trolling in my threads - I wont hesitate to report you to Adam. Act like grown ups, you get mad when I call you 5 year olds - then start acting like adults.

IGN is reporting that Sega has announced pricing for PS3 Sonic in Japan, and it' s Y6800, which is apparently the same pricepoint as current-gen software.

Act like grown ups

I...

Wha...

You...

Never mind. On to more important matters, don' t Japan always get the cream of the crop when it comes to gaming though? things like price breaks? And even still, assuming those are the exact numbers that make it Stateside, then you add the six or seven percent tax, and you' re at about seventy dollars. Hmm, yeah, that' s that figure I was pulling out of my butt a few days back wasn' t it?

Evil man where is the link?

Why did you mention 84$ and how did you come up with that sum?

Did you read it on some site,or did you translate the yen cost to dollar from some Japanese site who gonna sell ps3 games?

Here in Sweden every ps3 game gonna cost 80$ same with xbox360,atleast gaming shops take that price when you pre.order.

So no price diffrence,ofc here in Sweden we pay so much more,that above 80$ would be just too much for people.

Anyway,the ps3 is still aiming for 800-930$

And btw Retarded man,no trolling?

Who has been doing that in every freaking thread?

Fuck you,and yes you' re retarded,and a fuck-face.

So basically F+U- retarded man.

Even if you break 2 legs from a crab it still runs!
What you gotta do is find its weak spot and do massive damage at it.

Eddie.. what' s your gamertag, seeing as you' re on Live now?

There are two rules to success:

1. Never tell all you know.

In Japan games are more expensive than the US, there' s still PS2 games releasing for $75 over there.

That' s an interesting way of calculating it. It won' t be long until we know for sure what the US prices will be.

NOTE: In the UK 360 games cost £50.

BTW Please refrain from trolling in my threads - I wont hesitate to report you to Adam. Act like grown ups, you get mad when I call you 5 year olds - then start acting like adults.

Dude, grow a backbone!

If he tells Adam everyone is so screwed. I' ve seen Adam throw arround the ban hammer before and it' s a scary sight. Wait a minute, that NEVER happens arround here. There was a dude posting porn asking to be banned for like 4 days before he got banned.

Well,the thing is,people could basically trashtalk evil man for around 600 post' s before he should be considered banned,since Evil man has gotten away with it so far.

Did he speak too soon...

Armoured Core 4 - $70?!

Of course there is no link, and of course he spoke too soon. He' s engaging in what we like to call, " speculation" .

Oh noes that must mean X360 games are $75 in the US - wrong you fucking retard, they are $60 here.

Did you just act like an ass while speaking TO YOURSELF?! Wow... just... wow. You really are evil... man!

Well I hope the ps3 games don' t go up too high, looking at 360 games, i personally find them expensive. I don' t mind too much for a Triple A game, one i know is going to be great, but I haven' t seen that (for me - before i get trashed) on the 360 yet. There are some coming though and at that time I will pick up a (hopefully) cheaper 360. As for the PS3, there are some games i' m looking forward to, but i find more than £40 too much for a game i might not play.

At least M$ do demos over live, something i' m sure sony will want to do to, so trying before buying will be easy, and make decisions easier. I wasted too much money on ps2/xbox buying things on impulse..

You find them expensive?! We here in the UK have to pay 50 pounds (roughly 95 bucks) for our 360 games. Lord have mercy...

The was an existing topic and you felt you needed to create you own and start it by calling other forum users " fucking retard" s. I' m sure that' ll make Adam see you as some sort of victim and get us all spanked.

I guess we' re supposed to [in your small mind] take your word as the gospel truth that PS3 games won' t exceed the $60 pricetag Xbox 360 games curently have in the US, based on the interesting formula you provided in your initial post?!

It' s not a formula, it' s common sense.

LAST GEN games were already 20% more expensive in Japan. And the generation before that as well. They will be no more than $65 in the US, accept it and move on with your life.

Ok, how much were PS2, Gamecube and Xbox titles?!

New non-budget PS2 games retail for 7410 JPY ($62) in japan. Prices have been higher on top selling games such as Final Fantasy games, the last of which retailed for 8990 ($76.00).

In the US last gen games always retailed for $49.99 unless they were collectors editions or included accesories, etc.

Games are more expensive in Japan, get over it, your weak anti-sony propaganda was a pathetic failure.

I quoted an article from IGN, provided a link and then questioned whether it was possible to see a rise in game prices. That' s hardly anti-Sony propaganda, especially when Kaz Hirai said...

If it becomes a bit higher than US$ 59, don' t ding me, but, again, I don' t expect it to be US$ 100

...opening up the possibility that the prices could increase.

Are you saying that it' s absolutely impossible?

Yeah, yeah, we know, if you' re not having dirty dreams about the PS3 you' re commiting crimethink, save it Evil Man.

Eddie.. what' s your gamertag, seeing as you' re on Live now?

It' s Eddie the Hated. Yours? Like I told Majik, don' t look for me on live at the moment, because untill I run ethernet into my room, I' m not going to be doing much online gaming. I' d just run it from my net pc to the living room TV, but some people in my house are ravenously against guns, violence, talking on forums to people I technically don' t know, and internet gaming, so it' s not much of an option. Kinda depressing actually.

Don' t get smart with me Eddie.

Majik - You were saying PS3 games were going to be $84 in the US. Don' t try to change your argument now.

Don' t get smart with me Eddie.

Yes mom.

I' m not changing anything. I' ll repost exactly what my first post contained, just so there' s not confusion...

Expensive games could accompany a shift in business plans over at Sony.
by Anoop Gantayat

September 23, 2006 - Following up on Ken Kutaragi' s pre-TGS keynote address, Japanese site Impress Watch has posted the latest in its " Random Tracking" editorial series. This periodic feature is written by Munechika Nishida, a well-known contributor to the Asahi Shimbun newspaper and Ultra One PC magazine, and this latest update has some surprising revelations on the PS3.

To most gamers, the most eye-catching part of the feature is a claim about game prices. Citing " multiple information sources," the article states that the price of PS3 games will be concentrated in the 8,800 to 9,800 yen range. The primary reason given is the rising cost of development.

In Japan, the standard price of a PS2 game is 6,800 yen, with only the biggest titles like Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy rising to the 8,800 yen mark.

There' s a deeper story to this price hike. According to the article, Sony was, as of E3, planning to alleviate cost pressures on 3rd parties by lowering royalty costs. The thinking at the time was that users would be able to create their own games and distribute them online throught he PS3, and Sony would not be able to charge royalties for such titles. The company would want to offer 3rd parties a similar pricing environment, with the savings from royalty costs passed on to consumers in the form of lower software prices.

However, this strategy has apparently been put on hold as Sony has been unable to complete preparations for turning the PS3 into an open platform. The article claims that Sony has made no progress in the preparations for allowing users to make their own games. Such preparations include a development environment, manuals, security management and community features.

It should come as no surprise that preparations have been delayed, as the article also claims that even support for 3rd party developers is lagging.

With the delay in progress towards an open platform, the site speculates that Sony is switching to a more traditional business model where the PS3 will be sold at a " surprisingly low price" and losses will be recouped on software royalties. This is the business model that was used for the PlayStation and PlayStation 2.

As part of this strategy shift, we could be seeing changes to Sony' s plans for multiple PS3 SKUs. The article claims that while the 60 gigabyte PS3 will still be available, the company' s focus will be shifted to the 20 gigabyte model. This is part of Sony' s hope to change from a multi SKU business model to a single SKU model. The article cites as a source software distribution firms which noticed, at the end of August, a change in Sony' s marketing approach for the PS3.

Some big revelations to be sure. We should be able to get a grasp on how accurate Nishida' s sources were as PS3 pricing and shipment details become available in the coming weeks.

IGN

9800 Yen = $84

It' s possible, and Sony themselves said that the cost of games might rise, but $84 would be improbable. Would Sony do that?

...and here' s the LINK

I said $84 would be improbable and then asked " Would Sony do that?" Where exactly did i claim that the games would cost $84???

You implied it.

Lol.

U guys are just being anti-SONY, why dont u just go to the SONY Style website or amazon.com, there they have many games already listed and all of them carry the 60 dlls price tag, all but F.E.A.R. which is at retail for 50 american dlls, also in Japan Konami' s Mahjong Fight Club Online will retail for 42 dlls BTW remember that every single one of these are in Blu-Ray, and not in DVD9 like the xbox 360 games and for that reason they have better picture and sound cuality.

So just leave Evil Man alone guys, and please realise that Sony its really working hard to deliver the best of the best at the lowest price posible, so just take it easy ok guys???

I dont know what you guys at argueing about.

An Activison exec has allready confirmed the prices to be the same as 360 titles. around the 60 mark [euros]

Change is inevitable. Except from a vending machine.

I' ll be buying PS3 just like you, but i' m also vocal about problems i have with it. People that blindly follow any of the companies (with the exception of Nintendo because they rock!) are amusing.

remember that every single one of these are in Blu-Ray, and not in DVD9 like the xbox 360 games and for that reason they have better picture and sound cuality.

Um no... Since when does capacity have anything to do with picture & sound quality?

A spokesperson for Sony Computer Entertainment Europe refused to comment on the pricing of software.

So we who has to pay our ps3 up to 800-930$ shouldn' t be worry in europe when they refuse to tell us the standard price?
