Europeans to get steeper next-gen prices

Sorry European gamers, it looks like you'll be getting the short end of the stick yet again.

Atari has dropped the skinny about the pricing of some next-gen titles slated for Europe, and it doesn't look pretty. These higher costs probably won't bode well with gamers, but it wouldn't be a shocker to see similar price hikes all around the market. So just how much will Europeans have to pay?

Sonic the Hedgehog on PS3 will be available for around 68 euros (that translates to about $87!). World Snooker Championship 2007 is even higher at 73.99 euros, or almost $95. If you thought that the console alone was going to run you up a pretty penny, then you better keep saving because it looks like the games are going to be a steep investment too.

hahaha, sorry PS3 is dead !

Woah! Thats a lot of money for a game :p

and when that gets to england they'll cost how much.

I reckon £100 a game :p

then again if it goes straight to £'s from euros the difference in price between a 360 game and a ps3 wont be much difference.

73.99 EUR Euro = 50.7963 GBP United Kingdom Pounds
1 EUR = 0.686529 GBP 1 GBP = 1.45660 EUR

68.00 EUR Euro = 46.6822 GBP United Kingdom Pounds
1 EUR = 0.686503 GBP 1 GBP = 1.45666 EUR

i did a price conversion and they're set to be the same price as microsofts titles.

Sounds about right really i just hope that next gen games deserve the price hike, from what i've seen on 360 so far maybe not.
