Much speculation was raised before solid evidence of PlayStation 3 software pricing was revealed in the past week. The highest Sony will ask for PS3 games is $59.99, the same price as most Xbox 360 games. Some online pundits had said they expected prices above the $60 mark, $70 or as high as $100. That certainly does not appear to be the case.
That said, there is a faint chance that PS3 pricing will be less than you might expect. Amazon.com, as part of their online price savings, is offering some PS3 titles for $56.99. F.E.A.R. is listed as $49.99, the same price as current-gen games. At this point though, F.E.A.R. is the only game listed below $50 for the PlayStation 3.
The SonyStyle site lists the following: Blazing Angels: Squadrons of WWII (11/16), Call of Duty 3 (11/9), Full Auto 2: Battlelines (11/23), Marvel: Ultimate Alliance (11/9), Sonic the Hedgehog (11/16), Tony Hawk’s Project 8 (11/9), Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom (11/2). As we always do if we cannot confirm our reporting, please be aware that this is based off of third party sites (except SonyStyle), not an official announcement from Sony itself.
