PlayStation®3 General Discussion

[VEGETTA__70]

Just had a look on Playstation store and laughed my a$$ off when I saw MW2 for $49.95 when I can go to JB HIFI and get a copy on disc for $10 less (which can be traded/sold later) Why would Sony think we are dumb enough to pay more for a electronic version?

[maximuspower · Accepted solution]

Prices for 3rd party items from the PlayStation store are generally set by the games publisher, in this case activision, but there are some people prefer having digital copies of the game and the 'right now appeal' of owning it

Okay, so this has been touched on -SO- many times.

It is not SONY who sets the price. It is the the distributers and the company who make the game.
But uh, if you have to blame someone, thats fine. Blame Activision.

I hear you but like someone else said prices are aren't set by Sony. A while ago I was going to get DLC for Dragon Age 2 until I found that we were getting charged 60% more than the US PSN (and that what when our dollar was stronger so would have thought it would be cheaper) anyway didn't get it at all.  I suppose the point I'm trying to make is if you don't like the price don't get it from the PSN store.

People keep saying that it's the game companies setting the prices, but Sony is a big enough company that it can tell those companies to drop the prices that they set.
They arnt doing it because they are enjoying the profits from these highly inflated prices and then are happy enough to say it's not their fault when someone complains.

Hi supapeedie,

Have you previously played 3D content on your TV?

If not, you may just need to go through the basic 3D set up for the PlayStation.

Go to Settings -> Display Settings -> Video Output Settings -> HDMI -> Automatic...

It will detect 3D and ask you the size of your screen. Provided the settings on the TV are correct for 3D, this should resolve your problem based on the above.

Think yourself lucky we get it for $50 on PSN. Xbox gets the download for $70 and Steam gets it for $90 lol.

actually if you remember back during launch it was sony who set the price points for this console no one else; they had 3 different price points depending on if it was a sony title or a 3rd party title (and 3rd party was split between two prices)
