PS3 Yikes Dept: Will PS3 Games Cost $60 (But Less Than $100)?

Don’t look now but something’s up with the PS3 and it aint cheap. In an interview with PSM, a Sony executive’s response to the question how much PS3 games will retail was this:

“I think it would be a bit of a stretch to think that we could suddenly turn around and say “PS3 Games now $99.99.” I don’t think consumers expect software pricing to suddenly double. So, the quick answer is that we want to make it as affordable as possible…That’s kind of the best answer I can give you. So, if it becomes a bit higher than $59, don’t ding me, but, again, I don’t expect it to be $100.”

But don’t blame Sony. It’s the price of the Blu-ray media ($20 – $30 each vs 5-10 cents for DVDs – you do the math) which will jack up the price of PS3 games. Wait, Sony is Blu-ray. Go ahead then.
