Aussie PS Store games priced
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.
austrainlian fans will have a better release then america did. its good for buisness.
Sounds awesome...I can't wait! Thanks for the preview Gamespot!
These prices seem like a bargain to me.
these arent bad prices, added to the fact that these are mainly new games, unlike the VC... different topic altogether
wow you guys are getting it firday that awsome guys pertty nice console ill tell you that
Decent prices, but I'm sure a lot of people would say it's not worth it.
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
have an xbox 360, still doubting between wii and ps3, ps3 launches here in the netherlands also on friday, but if you arent famous or millionaire, you can wait till june.
that converts to £7 for teken in the uk what the betting its no where near as cheep as that
I'm bad at converting currency, is that cheap for US dollars?
Australia's really waited a long time for the PS3.
The conversion rate is: 1 USD = 1.24900 AUD , for Tekken 5 that works out as $13.57 US
Anyone know the exchange rate between Australian dollars and American Dollars?
Seems like a really crappy line up if ya ask me...LOL....bravo Sony
I don't know what S2333 is coming from, but I find those prices acceptable. GOOD, even...
And I thought Wii was expensive. That is outrageous. I wouldn't buy lemmings for $13.37 when I have it on my pc.
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.
well.. something good has come from sony.. now thats a suprise, keep it up and maybe i will buy a PS3 in 3-4 years
$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....)
Nice...finally aussie gamers will get to experience all the great online content they've been missing...
go sony!!!!!!!!!!
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.
Yo that sounds like it will be a great line up ... I can't wait to play around with the store and download some of the demo's to clear my mind on where to spent my money
They are actually quite reasonable prices.
i wasn't going to rush online but tekken may have just expedited things a little!
Wait...the full version of Dark Resurrection for just 17 bucks!?!?!?! WOW
Lemmings lol must have that on my downtown I can play and watch them fall to their deaths, ohh memories sweet memories.
i doubt i will but those games for a long time. Although ill get the Demo's
ill download lemmings so i can kill them XD, only jkin i dont hate u that much, yet....
Sweet news! That price seals the deal for me to buy Blast Factor, Tekken 5 and Gripshift. if fl0w is similarly priced, then I'll be grabbing that as well.
Awesome news, ill be getting my PS3 around christmas time, Killzone, MGS4, GTA4...what a awesome year ahead for the console :D
Hey look Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection in Australia is about $6.50 US cheaper then in the US.
29 demos?!
1st party ps3 games (RR7, RFOM, F1, Motorstorm) are $90AU :D:D:D:D which is $30AU cheaper than 360 games lmao! the other games are $110AU
SCEA = Sony Computer Entertainment Australia SCEA = Sony Computer Entertainment America WTF?
