PSP™ General Discussion

[razordude]

This is a price comparison of games on PSN against online retailers (I scouted around the main ones which do free delivery in the UK and picked the best price - you can probably find better if you dig around). As you'll see - not all games are more expensive on PSN (though remember there is a sale on at the moment). Another thing to note is that some games on PSN are a few years old and are more difficult to find for sale online (I've only included games sold as "new").

dirt 2 is cheaper retail than you found @  £11.86 which is cheaper than PSN

http://www.shopto.net/PSP/VIDEO%20GAMES/PSPCO23-Colin%20McRae%20DiRT%202.html

Midnight club LA is also alot cheaper at retaqil than you quote @ £9.85

http://www.shopto.net/PSP/VIDEO%20GAMES/PSPMI06-Midnight%20Club%20Los%20Angeles%20Remix.html

those are just 2 that interest me as i do intend to purchase them but i bet i could rip your price list apart and save a fortune at retail. seriously more research is needed.

[razordude]

Yep, like I said, you can probably find cheaper if you dig around. All I did was find prices from a couple of the main online retailers. It's not supposed to be a comprehensive guide to the cheapest prices for all games - it's making a general point about PSN prices.

[Concrete3000]

I like the way you've listed the PSN games.

I would like to see a similar price list on the main page on the PSP Store showing all the titles available with their prices and their download file sizes instead of having to navigate/searching to see what the price is for the game.

Perhaps in a table that can be filtered by clicking on the heading and would look something like this:

Title	Price	Download Size	Release Date	Category	Publisher
Breath of Fire 3	£13.99	147.6 MB	26/11/2009	RPG	Capcom CE Europe Ltd
Gran Turismo	£13.99	1010 MB	01/10/2010	Driving/Racing	Polyphony Digital Inc

That way I would be able to decide instantly whether I should buy it as a download or the retail version.

[RKO_JPL7]

Beaterator was actually £2.98 in the GAME sale

[Hellblazer_1989]

Yeah. The prices are too high. Theres a store around here that has its own website were they ship the games to you. The even say the games are cheaper ordering from the site than their actual stores because no need to pay for rent space,etc

[Wasifwk]

Please can you tell me whats the price diff between PSN downloads and actual Blu Ray Discs

p.s i live in UAE

[Tahvo]

Games are always cheaper from Online Retail -.-
And Sony doesnt deside the prices the companies that Own the game deside the price Konami(peace walker)
