Price of SCEE's PS3 launch games confirmed

Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) has confirmed pricing details for its first party title launch line-up, to accompany the launch of PlayStation 3.

SCEE confirmed that its five disc based launch titles, including the highly acclaimed MotorStorm and Resistance: Fall of Man will be priced at an RRP of €59.99 (£39.99, AUD 99.95, NZ 109.95).

In addition to the disc based games, SCEE also announced that exclusive and innovative experiences developed especially for download from the PlayStation®Network will be made available for an introductory period at prices ranging from €2.99 to €9.99 depending on the specific title. These include Blast Factor, flOw and Super Rub a Dub, together with iconic gaming brands such as Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection.

Other first party content available on the PlayStation®Network such as game items and premium video content will be priced on an easy to understand sliding scale of charges starting as low as €0.99. This will increase depending on the scope of the product, and could range from a new SingStar track to a premium pack of vehicles, tracks and modes for MotorStorm.

In announcing these prices, David Reeves, President and CEO of SCEE said, "Not only will it be completely free to register on the PlayStation®Network with no subscription fees and access to many free demos, but with these competitive prices for additional content we are able to offer the consumer both top quality games on Blu-ray Disc and a whole range of downloadable content from the PlayStation®Network. With over 30 first and third party disc and network games available at launch, we are confident that this will be one of the most successful launches of all time."
