More from that fateful interview with Kaz Hirai, president of Sony Computer Entertainment America. You'll remember that yesterday I posted about his dig at Microsoft for stalking Sony and totally, "going down the path of everything we do".
Apparently, in the same chat he was drawn to comment on the likely price point for PS3 games. "If it becomes a bit higher than US$ 59, don't ding me, but, again, I don't expect it to be US$ 100," he chortled to reporters. So, the key question here - apart from what the hell does 'don't ding me' mean - is, will the eventual retail price fall at the lower or upper end of that vague scale?
Gamesindustry.biz reckons that due to the vagaries of price conversions between the US and UK, we could end up paying £70 or more. I haven't forked out that much for a game since the days of the Neo Geo AES.
Well Sony, if there's any truth in these figures, this is one path you can be pretty sure Microsoft won't follow you down...
