In the News: Could Sony and Microsoft be Pricing Next-Gen titles around $70?




Just doing a little bit of snooping around, and it turns out that there is a possibility that the next-gen titles will go up another $10 over the current one.  This isn't unheard of; seeing as the current generation was $10 over the previous one.  Nothing is confirmed right now, and there are conflicting sources.  Sony said at panels that games should remain at the $60 mark, but will also offer $.99 samples; allowing gamers to get a small preview before committing the full price for the game.  This feature sounds enticing, as it would allow you to potentially avoid wasting the money on a title you start up and feel disappointed by.  News of the potential $70 price tag on next-gen titles came from Michael Patcher, who made the comment at a panel.  At the moment, nothing is confirmed.  Sony never set a specific price range for their titles, so journalists are reaching out for further comment.  We here at ScullyNerdReviews.com will try to keep you all in the loop as events unfold.
