Sony announces PS3 game prices for US: $59.99

[wraggster]

We didn't make a big fuss over those crazy 'spensive Japanese PS3 game prices announced yesterday, since it was pretty much a given that the US prices would be lower than the straight Yen-to-Dollar conversion, and it turns out that's exactly the case. Sony is matching Microsoft's main Xbox 360 pricepoint at a "mere" $59.99, with all 7 games now available for pre-order at the Sony Style online store. Sure, we wouldn't have complained if Sony somehow decided to undercut MS on next-gen game prices, but we suppose that's wishful thinking at this point. Ah well, there's always the Wii, right?

That's for 1st party games I take it. I bet 3rd party games will be $70.

Did you read it saxdude? It says match xbox 360... and it says all (so far) launch games... which arent all first party.

Dang, $60 is a cut into the wallet. I don't really care though because PS3 is going to be the solution to all of my problems. :) Not to mention alzheimers. That's just great.

Wow. $59.99 per game is not a price I can afford. :(

OK I'm not really sure where to post this becasue there is no PS3 discussion board but if homebrew works on PS3 then it would be so sweet to get a Gamecube and Xbox emulator with more backwords compatibility than xbox 360 hahaha. Sorry for the random post again.
