+Eternal Tempest MVC Posted February 26, 2013 MVC Share Posted February 26, 2013 Not sure if this is "guess" pricing but one of the 1st pre-orders is the Watch Dogs from Ubisoft. However, Amazon has pre-order as $99.99 (Ps4 edition) This doesn't even look like a special / collector's edition. I wonder if this is the new price point that publishers are going to attempt next generation. It's showing $60 for the other console's.

draklin Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Please note that the current price on Watch Dogs for PlayStation 4 is a placeholder price until we receive more information from our first party and third party partners. That is from the page you linked to so no, it will not be 99.99. ahhell 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorbing Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Well if they are going to charge that kind of money for a single game, I see the PS4 going down the drain. No one in the right state of mind is going to pay that kind of money for a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Montage Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Of course they are not gonna charge $90 for a game. Sure, prices have risen but not to that level so sharply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt4pack Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Games shouldn't even be close to what they are now which is why I don't game much anymore. Movies that cost 200 hundred million to make are $20 and even if you throw in the theater price it's $30 but video games that cost maybe 5 million to make are $70?

Motoko. Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I checked ebgames, and realized those prices were in australia which makes sense, however this is seperate case (could be a typo that'll get corrected later when its ready to sell) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbauer Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Sony has already answered this question. http://metro.co.uk/2013/02/25/no-price-hike-for-playstation-4-games-says-sony-america-3512761/ Sony America boss Jack Tretton has said that games for the PlayStation 4 will not see a price increase and will still cost $0.99 to $60. +Eternal Tempest, Dick Montage, Brandon H and 1 other 4 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaredFrost Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Games shouldn't even be close to what they are now which is why I don't game much anymore. Movies that cost 200 hundred million to make are $20 and even if you throw in the theater price it's $30 but video games that cost maybe 5 million to make are $70? Something is very wrong there. Exactly, and you don't hear the movie industry complaining about used dvd/bluray sales either, and disc versions are 20/30 dollars. In the past they could make the argument that the market isn't as big for video games, so they have to charge more and restrict resale, but that's not true at all now Price for games should be going down, but that's not how the market works anymore, it'll get to a point where something will snap.

vcfan Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Games shouldn't even be close to what they are now which is why I don't game much anymore. Movies that cost 200 hundred million to make are $20 and even if you throw in the theater price it's $30 but video games that cost maybe 5 million to make are $70? BS. If you buy a DVD movie, after you watch it, it goes on your shelf and maybe you'll watch it again in a few years, and a lot of times, never again. When you buy call of duty,how many times do you play it? online? it has massive replay value. its worth the price. and theres also something called supply and demand. comparing video game prices to movie prices is absurd. Exactly, and you don't hear the movie industry complaining about used dvd/bluray sales either, and disc versions are 20/30 dollars. In the past they could make the argument that the market isn't as big for video games, so they have to charge more and restrict resale, but that's not true at all now Price for games should be going down, but that's not how the market works anymore, it'll get to a point where something will snap. if anything,game prices should be going up soon. games are getting more complex to make.

Movies that cost 200 hundred million to make are $20 and even if you throw in the theater price it's $30 but video games that cost maybe 5 million to make are $70? video games today cost as much as a movie to make, Also a movie is shown millions and millions of times in movie theaters, and then it's rented an sold to hundreds of millions. a game is a top seller if it passes 2 million. 5 million then you have a real super seller on your hands. you can't compare movie and game prices. on top of that, a movie is 2 hours of entertainment, even short games are at least 3 times that, usually plus multiplayer. wasn't the original Zelda game like $60 when if first came out too? i'm pretty sure i read that somewhere. either way though, that shows prices for games really haven't changed all that much. and i doubt any radical changes will happen this generation either NES and SNES games cost as much and often more than games today do. HOWEVER. counting inflation, a 60 dollar game back 20 years ago, was a LOT more expensive than a 60 dollar game today. and back then you didn't have big chains giving you release date rebates on the first week, or bargain bins after a couple of months.

Tikimotel Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I've paid 70 euro's for PS3 games already, I just hope the $99 (US dollar) translates into ?75,- Euro's not ?99 Euro's... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patseguin Global Moderator Posted February 26, 2013 Global Moderator Share Posted February 26, 2013 Is this is true and games START at $99, I won't be buying a PS4 unless the games are motion picture quality graphics, which they are not.
