Has everyone seen that games are now $69.99 and €79.99? 80 euros is almost 95 US dollars. WTF? I'm sorry but no game is worth that much money. 70 euros was already pushing it. European gamers are being ripped off and should push back on this.

"Astro’s Playroom (Japan Studio) – pre-installed on PS5
Demon’s Souls (Bluepoint Games / Japan Studio) – US$69.99/¥7,900/€79.99 (RRP)
Destruction All Stars (Lucid Games / XDEV) – US$69.99/¥7,900/€79.99 (RRP)
Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales (Insomniac Games) – US$49.99/¥5,900/€59.99 (RRP)
Marvel’s Spider-Man: Mile Morales Ultimate Edition (Insomniac Games) – US$69.99/¥7,900/€79.99 (RRP)
Sackboy A Big Adventure (Sumo Digital / XDEV) – US$59.99/¥6,900/€69.99 (RRP)"

Not just that but i just saw on the PlayStation blog that Miles Morales and Horizon Forbidden West are also coming to PS4!!!

Whatever happened to leaving generations?

lukasmain2065d ago

It's a bit disappointing, but Sackboy is 60. It might be different for different games.

Demon's Souls is launching on LAUNCH DAY. So I'm happy.

Christopher2065d ago (Edited 2065d ago )

I didn't notice it for Demon's Souls.

But, if no game is worth $70, wouldn't you just wait on a sale? I mean, I assume you do that already since I doubt most games are worth $60 to someone who thinks none are worth $70.

@outsider1624: I am disappointed with that news. I'm going to assume they're worried about adoption rate due to COVID/recession. But, I disagreed with Xbox doing it and I disagree with Sony doing it. That means games will be held back unless they diverge from parallel development. Especially in regards to the hype around their loading times for open world games.

Jericho13372065d ago

The price of Spider-Man suggests it’s more of an expansion after all.

LucasRuinedChildhood2065d ago

@Christopher

I was talking about having to pay €80 for a new game, not US$70. I live in Ireland. Unlike the US, prices for games in the EU already rose by €10 this gen and this is another €10. As I said, that's around is around US$95 now which is a complete rip-off.

I get that. But I'd rather pay US$95 for a video game than pay the exorbitant prices I do for health care. There are outside factors to consider here other than just direct price comparison.

lukasmain2065d ago

JUST PRE-ORDERED MINE in Australia EB Games

lukasmain2065d ago (Edited 2065d ago )

@ URA, no not really. Demon's Souls for example is NOT Cross-Gen. And it's launching alongside the PS5

danny8182065d ago

agreed. Next gen will be pricy. required 4k tv, game price hike, storage space, and live services like PSN and Live, next gen console etc... Crazy

crazyCoconuts2065d ago

I look at the entertainment per hour that I get, and I believe good games are well worth $70. I don't LIKE having to pay more, but all of our expectations with games are only going up, and it's going to cost more to meet our expectations. On the bright side, Fortnite is still free ;-)

elazz2065d ago

Digital games have been 70 euros for the whole generation here. That includes tax.

80 euros is a steep increase but over a period of 7 years it's reasonable inflation. Obviously with the expectation you get a complete game with that price like God of War was and not some buggy short game.

Retail price was mostly 60 euro, sometimes 65 euros so I expect that to become 70 euros now.

Valkron12065d ago

I preordered Cyberpunk, Immortals Fenyx, AC Valhalla, Farcry 6, and Watchdogs Legion for $49 from Amazon. But that was for Xbox Smart Delivery. I'm pretty sure you get the upgraded versions for PS5 if you get it there

Thatgrammar2065d ago (Edited 2065d ago )

@outsider1624

So it appears that Sackboy A Big Adventure, Horizon Forbidden West, and Spider-man: Miles Morales will have PS4 versions. Also, Playstation Studios games will be anywhere from $49.99-$69.99. Whats wrong with having those games on PS4 and PS5 while having other games like the new God Of War (Ragnarok Is Coming), Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, Returnal, Godfall, Astro’s Playroom, etc. as PS5 exclusives?

Edit: Also, those are the only 3 titles from Playstation Studios that will be launching on both PS4 and PS5 as mentioned in the blog post.

darthv722065d ago

@grammar, it may be that more will also be getting cross gen releases. God of War included.

Bigman4k2064d ago

You must have alot of time on your hands 🤭

Muzikguy2064d ago

I'm not worried about the increased price for games. For 2 generations they were the same. It's all right.

IGiveHugs2NakedWomen2064d ago (Edited 2064d ago )

Just wait for sales. I have no intention of paying more than $60 for games when 70% of them have been absolute trash.

when will the early birds get the special email????? I feel like that lady in the old mervyn's commercial: open open open

lukasmain2065d ago

Lol I know. Sony said they would give fair notice for pre-orders. Looks like that's out the window. Tomorrow, better load your guns and get ready for the pre-order battle

crazyCoconuts2065d ago

Maybe we get the emails tonight?

ziggurcat2064d ago

Not sure if they did because everyone's just putting them up for pre-order already.

SeanScythe2064d ago

gamestop preorders went live this evening, all stores are sold out and online is bundles on'y starting at $650 for digital and $749 for Bluray. Complete BS they did it this way.

Thatgrammar2064d ago (Edited 2064d ago )

@darthv72

I just got an email inviting me to pre-order directly from Playstation. I cue up Friday AM in a virtual waiting room and eventually it will let me know when I can select my items to purchase. I received the email at 9:47PM PT.

NecrumOddBoy2064d ago

I got it this morning. Yes!🥺

IGiveHugs2NakedWomen2064d ago

Too bad for you. Got my pre-order invite and it's scheduled for 1pm Friday est. I'm calling out sick for work to make sure I get it in. 😊

drifter862064d ago

Best Buy started pre-orders at 9pm pst 12am est.

VenomUK2064d ago

jrburdine2064d ago

I was up from 12 est to 2est trying to pre order from best buy and it kept crashing... so I never got the pre order in...

Mr Marvel2064d ago

I didn't think anything could top what I saw in that presentation... then I found out afterwards that Demon's Souls is a launch title. (MIND BLOWN)

Nodoze2064d ago

No it is game OVER. VERY frustrated.

IGiveHugs2NakedWomen2064d ago

Lmbo. That’s priceless. I can relate, no lie. I got all excited and sounded like Winnie the Pooh when I heard Kratos speak.

vokaya93162064d ago

I get paid over $90 per hour working from home with 2 kids at home. I never thought I'd be able to do it but my best friend earns over 10k a month doing this and she convinced me to try. The potential with this is endless. Heres what I've been doing,

ClayRules20122064d ago

Woohoo!!! Excited for you😁

hduce2064d ago

I got mine from Gamstop and Best Buy.

Chris122064d ago

Did they knock it out of the park?

Still no breakdown on hardware, so you don't know what you're buying.

And all this time Sony fans have trumpeted how they are getting true next gen games in Miles Morales, and now they learn it's also coming to PS4. Sony totally duped you and you're happy about things you went in hard on Xbox for. Unbelievable.

Thought it was posted by Geoff Keighley first. My mistake.

robtion2064d ago

Heads up, ps5 launch day consoles sold out I think within 15 minutes of pre-orders going live in Australia at most retailers including ebgames(gamestop). Can't get one until 2021 sometime now.

I was super lucky and have managed to get one for launch day.

ClayRules20122065d ago

Yes, wallets ready, willing and surrendering to experience this next generation experience that’s being offered.

Flawlessmic2064d ago (Edited 2064d ago )
