At the CESA Developers Confrence Hirokazu Hamamura, president of Enterbrain (publisher of Famitsu) talked about the price range of upcoming PS3 software. Much like Xbox and Xbox 360, he sees a significant price increase between PS2 and PS3. Hamamura-san forsees the cheapest PS3 software being at least $70 USD (EUR 57 / YEN 7,800) while the most expensive would be around $79 USD (EUR 65 / YEN 8,800). That will leave Canadian gamers paying $83-$94.

Perhaps Kutaragi was right and we should all just suck it up and get second jobs.

I heard that the XBOX360 game prices are going to be the same.

I find it very amusing that Sony and Microsoft really think we're just going to accept these outrageous new prices

Think I'll just be me a new PC and stock up on $45 games.

I blame raising gas prices.

Thank god I'm not an avid gamer.

I heard that the XBOX360 game prices are going to be the same.

that's the rumour, at least. the prices I saw for xbox360 launch prices were no higher than typical, though.


remember, everyone swore up and down that n64 games would be 70 bucks, too...that didn't happen. they would be stupid to price them above 60 bucks, max.

Good thing I always wait for the used prices.
