Amidst rumors of PlayStation 3 games retailing for between USD 75-85, the Sony Style website has begun taking pre-orders for PS3 games that cost a measly USD 59.99.
Although the price point puts PS3 games on the same category as X360 games, this is good news for fans of the Japanese consumer electronics giant as rumors, for a year now, had hinted at a higher price. The games listed at USD 59.99 include Call of Duty 3 so we are certain they are premium titles. There have been suggestions that the USD 59.99 price may be a pre-order only offer but there is no mention of such an offer on the website so it is unlikely to be the case.
Sony is in desperate need of some respite from the onslaught of critical press it has been receiving lately. The European launch delay, the reduced units available for launch and the Japan only price cut have created a hostile atmosphere for the company in the U.S. and this news might just help calm things down for Sony.
