Twenty-nine game demos and trailers available on local PS Store; Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection to retail for A$16.95.

The official launch of the PlayStation 3 in Australia may not be until this Friday, but Sony Computer Entertainment Australia (SCEA) turned on the local PlayStation Store this afternoon, giving GameSpot AU a glimpse of what will be available later this week.

The PlayStation Store will have at least 29 demos, trailers, and video downloads come Friday, March 23. In addition to free demo levels of MotorStorm, Genji: Days of the Blade, Ridge Racer 7, and Gran Turismo HD, the Australian store will feature downloadable games such as Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection (A$16.95), Blast Factor (A$8.45), GripShift (A$8.85), and Lemmings (A$13.37).

SCEA had previously stated that Go! Sudoku, flOw, Go! Puzzle, and Super Rub'a'Dub would also be launch titles for the Australian PS Store.

Randolph Ramsay loves games in the same way monkeys love bananas. Sure, they can live without it, but what's the point? He also loves fighting games, but never plays online in case people notice just how bad he is at them.

They arent bad prices... Each $AU is about 80cents US dollars Theyre PS3 is about $800 USD, so they deserve reasonable prices on the PSSTORE

I don't know what S2333 is coming from, but I find those prices acceptable. GOOD, even...

S2333 5 pts

And I thought Wii was expensive. That is outrageous. I wouldn't buy lemmings for $13.37 when I have it on my pc.

frombrosis 5 pts

Wow, awesome prices! Sony must have misprinted it or something. Ah well, can't wait to download the demos on Friday morning... early, Friday morning after I pick up my PS3 from EB Games.

$17 dollars for full game is quite nice, now hurry up Howard, and give us the broadband speeds we need to download this (and XBL Marketplace, and IPTV, and Direct2Drive and....)

Wow. I'm a little surprised. Nice prices. But hey Sony, how about you lower that $1000 to about $500 for me? Come on, you know you love me.
