Aussie Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 PS3.IGN: Most of the titles on display at the booth had a box beside the instruction sheet. The boxes are variations on Blu-Ray disk cases, with a translucent top section in place of the unsightly blue that's starting high-definition movie collections off on the wrong foot. Sony reps stated that while these cases aren't final, we can expect the retail packaging to look extremely close to what's being shown on the floor Box Arts Playstation 1 Playstation 2 Playstation 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedrocasilva Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 ^ hmmmm... I certainly wasn't expecting Gran Turismo HD and MotorStorm in December, nor Resistance Fall of Man on launch. I was expecting warhawk 3 on launch though. As for Genji... Giant Crab with real-time weapon change on launch. Seems like no launch games use the "revolutionary" stolen features of the controller. And seriously though... Japanese people don't like FPS that much, and Sony releases two games on launch, one of them FPS... Are they trying to make the japs buy a FPS?

Owen Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 You know what? I'm so pleased they delayed the PS3 launch here. It seems when our PS3 launches in Europe the amount of games availible on it, will be much more then what USA and Japan are getting this year. So! We should get a great launch line-up next March! Hopefully including 'Heavenly Sword'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hellfire Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Well, it's like this, having some downloadable stuff is good, if they don't exaggerate and rape us. If Guitar Hero 3 came out with 45 musics and once in a while I could download new songs for 50 cents I would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dante Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 From IGN. Following up on Ken Kutaragi's pre-TGS keynote address, Japanese site Impress Watch has posted the latest in its "Random Tracking" editorial series. This periodic feature is written by Munechika Nishida, a well-known contributor to the Asahi Shimbun newspaper and Ultra One PC magazine, and this latest update has some surprising revelations on the PS3. To most gamers, the most eye-catching part of the feature is a claim about game prices. Citing "multiple information sources," the article states that the price of PS3 games will be concentrated in the 8,800 to 9,800 yen range. The primary reason given is the rising cost of development. In Japan, the standard price of a PS2 game is 6,800 yen, with only the biggest titles like Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy rising to the 8,800 yen mark. There's a deeper story to this price hike. According to the article, Sony was, as of E3, planning to alleviate cost pressures on 3rd parties by lowering royalty costs. The thinking at the time was that users would be able to create their own games and distribute them online throught he PS3, and Sony would not be able to charge royalties for such titles. The company would want to offer 3rd parties a similar pricing environment, with the savings from royalty costs passed on to consumers in the form of lower software prices. However, this strategy has apparently been put on hold as Sony has been unable to complete preparations for turning the PS3 into an open platform. The article claims that Sony has made no progress in the preparations for allowing users to make their own games. Such preparations include a development environment, manuals, security management and community features. It should come as no surprise that preparations have been delayed, as the article also claims that even support for 3rd party developers is lagging. With the delay in progress towards an open platform, the site speculates that Sony is switching to a more traditional business model where the PS3 will be sold at a "surprisingly low price" and losses will be recouped on software royalties. This is the business model that was used for the PlayStation and PlayStation 2. As part of this strategy shift, we could be seeing changes to Sony's plans for multiple PS3 SKUs. The article claims that while the 60 gigabyte PS3 will still be available, the company's focus will be shifted to the 20 gigabyte model. This is part of Sony's hope to change from a multi SKU business model to a single SKU model. The article cites as a source software distribution firms which noticed, at the end of August, a change in Sony's marketing approach for the PS3. Some big revelations to be sure. We should be able to get a grasp on how accurate Nishida's sources were as PS3 pricing and shipment details become available in the coming weeks.

Owen Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 I reckon PS3 games will be £49.99-£59.99 Not good, your right. I don't like spending anymore then £39.99 on a game really, unless it's really important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 I reckon PS3 games will be £49.99-£59.99 Not good, your right. I don't like spending anymore then £39.99 on a game really, unless it's really important. I refuse to spend more than £40 on a game actually, there has been only one time when I spent more than that, Perfect Dark on the N64 was £50, but I was swapping in 2 games I got for Christmas that were for the PS1 (I didn't have a PS1). £50 is too much to pay for a game, I don't buy any games in store now for the 360 because they're to expensive. I prefer buying them instore, and would if they were £40, but I'm not going to pay £10 extra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmac Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 I doubt Sony will go over Microsoft's price point for games, if they do they just shoot themselves in the foot again. bringing the lower spec PS3 down in price and adding back in some features they had taken out fixes the mistake they made at first, and makes it pretty comparable to the 360 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
