Sony nails digital pricing (finally!!)

5/29/12 9:00pm

It seems that the major consoles have had some trouble when it comes to the pricing of digital downloads of full games. Sony is stepping up with the cure with what their reffering to as "Ultimate Editions" These discounted prices for full games include the game, plus all of the DLC that has come out for the game for a relatively low price. The deals are as follow.

Red Dead Redemption - $27.99 ($19.59 PlayStation Plus)
Infamous 2 - $33.99 ($23.79 PlayStation Plus)
BioShock 2 - $27.99 ($19.59 PlayStation Plus)
MotorStorm Apocalypse - $50.49 ($35.34 PlayStation Plus)
Call of Duty: Black Ops - $66.49 ($46.54 PlayStation Plus)
L.A. Noire - $27.99 ($19.59 PlayStation Plus)
Mafia II - $20.99 ($14.69 PlayStation Plus)
Just Cause 2 - $20.99 ($14.69 PlayStation Plus)
Mortal Kombat - $34.99 ($24.49 PlayStation Plus)

With rumors that the next generation of consoles will be primarily digital download based, its nice to know that it is possible to recieve good deals on retail games.

Not bad I guess, but I'll stick with Steam when it comes to digital game sales. Steam easily trumps most of these deals.

I like to know that digital distribution is making a step forward, but I'm also pretty hesitant. If I was to download a game, say its 10 GB, i'd be downloading it for about a week, my internet ain't worth two cents.

Will they ever do such a thing in Europe? I really wonder. PSN isn't really up to par over here as it is in America and Asia. I'm still waiting on my Disgaea avatars Sony!

You're gonna wait a long time then. We got the SF4 avatars almost a year later than US customers. EU has been dicked over in +95% of the cases in the gaming industry.

The odd thing is that the avatars are already out in most parts of Europe. There are a few countries, including mine, which somehow have difficulty(Which has been going on for over some months now). I can't find what the problem or delay is anywhere, not even on NIS nor Playstation forums.
