Activision announces PS3 game prices (shock)

..they'll be $60, same as Xbox 360.

The price of next-gen console games was a hot issue last year when the bulk of Xbox 360 launch titles carried a $60 price tag. This week, Activision CEO Robert Kotick confirmed what many gamers already expected or even assumed: the company's PlayStation 3 games will retail for roughly $60.

There's been some rumour-mongering that PS3 games would be even more expensive than 360 i.e. $70, but I guess we can lay that one to rest.

Haha, yeah, it's scandalous. I fear for next-generation systems when johnny casual walks into Game, and sees those prices. It's been putting even me off! I'll be probably be hitting the web for all my games.

I got Black for the PS2 for 29.95 in Game, reduced from 59.95, brand new. You wouldn't believe it but they had it in the pre-owned section for 45euro, HA ha.

that's $60 before tax though as everything in America is advertised before tax is added isn't it

That happens a lot when they have games on special offer.
