However, there may be a caveat here, as the specific quote reads, “All four [launch/launch window] titles, Killzone: Shadow Fall, DriveClub, Knack, and Infamous: Second Son are all $59.99.” Is this designed to give Sony wiggle room later on? We’ll have to see.


This news comes on the heels of Microsoft’s confirmation that Xbox One games at retail will also cost the now-standard $59.99.

Late generation concern about next-gen pricing mostly arose because of the $10 jump in pricing from the PS2 era to the PS3 era, which also transcended the jump from Xbox to Xbox 360. So $60 games sound good. Indeed, $60 sounds especially good when considering that cartridge-based games during the SNES and Genesis era could cost as much as $100 at retail, depending on the size and makeup of the chips within those cartridges.

Cheers lad. I don't go to Asda very often so I never thought to look there for games.

The reason there was a price jump from ps2 to ps3 was because they switched to bluray disks i believe. The ps4 will be the exact same as the ps3 so it wouldnt move the price

RRP for games in the UK is £55 so this no change Smile
Most releases are at £40 online some are £55.
