First-party PS3 games slashed to half price

Online retailer Shopto.net has knocked a whopping 50% off this Christmas' range of first-party PS3 titles, reducing them to just £19.99 each.

LittleBigPlanet, Resistance 2 and MotorStorm: Pacific Rift have all been subject to the drastic price drops, and are now all available for the sub-£20 price.

That's great news for gamers looking to get some fantastic titles!

[The gaming GOD]

Why is it they wait until AFTER I already have the games to cut the prices like that? lol

I swear I have no luck

[Bebedora]

You've got a nice emoticon for what you just said

[Aquanox]

Interesting. Sony is not in the position to slash the hardware price but they could have a chance from the software side.

I'm impressed by the way, about how slow is Resistance 2 selling, unless VgChartz is getting its numbers dramatically wrong.

[Danja]

thats great news , hopefully more ppl will buy these games , they're more than worth the price...

[FantasyStar]

GODDAMNIT! I already bought those games at the retail value!!!

Ah well.....*hugs level 30 Medic*

[heyheyhey]

"unless VgChartz is getting its numbers dramatically wrong."

nah, you think buddy?

VGchartz can't be wrong can they? check again.... im sure there's an error, VGchartz are NEVER drastically wrong.... NEVER I TELL YOU!!!!!!!!!!!

....bah, im disappointed- i thought you were one of the more cognitive one's.... guess i was wrong

VGCHARTZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ravinash]

Very cleaver marketing.
I didn't know about Shopto.net and I've already got all the games their promoting....but they have made it onto my Favorites list.

shopto are doing what retailers call unbundling. manufacturers offer them a bundle. in this case it is a ps3 with motorstorm, lbp and r2 for a discount. shopto then separates the items and sells them individually for what it thinks will generate greater profits.

technically, sony doesn't like this but it can't really say no because shopto are buying such a large number of bundles of sony.

many retailers are doing the same with the xbox 360 wireless controller plus lego indiana jones and kung fu panda bundle. they are stripping the bundles because they believe they can get more money selling the items separately.

don't think either sony or ms are 100% pleased with it but at least it generates decent revenue in both instances.

[PirateThom]

They have Prince of Persia for a decent price. Going to keep a close eye and hope it goes cheaper.

[TheHater]

dude you might as well get it now before the price goes up back again

[PirateThom]

I'm tempted, but in the past few weeks I've bought quite a few games... just grabbed Mirror's Edge for £25 yesterday as well...

Stupid Christmas getting in the way of game buying! :(

[TheHater]

I borrowed this game from my friend because I spend about $250 on games in the last month and a half. I had to skip several games I wanted because of Xmas

[pupu]

Gears of War 2 CONFIRMED GoTY 2008 FACT!

[robert0267]

cool price I don't have r2 hey all you people visit the black mesa site source. http://www.blackmesasource....

[Skater]

I still can't find Resistance 2 for under $60!

[ezcex]

where is the 19.99 for the U.S.

[Spike47]

why not take off $10 off of LBP? I'm overwhelmed with the amount of PS3 games.

[No FanS Land]

yeah but uncharted is still full price where I live...

[Firstkn1ghT]

Trying to get rid of them I guess. Maybe now people will actually buy them.

[buckethead_X]

rofl at the irony. can you tell me what was recently cut down to $199? maybe they're trying to get rid of them, too. :)

now stop being annoying, okay? :D

[Firstkn1ghT]

Nope your statement fails bro. Console price cuts are normal especially when parts get cheaper. The 360 was right on target to lower their price just like every other console before it has done. Only the ps3 has had a desperate price cut after 3 months of its release by taking out a bunch of its guts to make it cheaper.
These games JUST CAME OUT and already are at 50%???? That's desperate bro.

Get PWNED!

[heyheyhey]

wow.... just wow....

thank you for proving me below statement right F1rstKnight..... you're a paradigm example of the 360 sheep around here that make these assumptions

it's an exclusive shopto.com deal... the same site that have been making these £19.99 deals for at least 5 years or so.... for the 360, on the PS2, on the Xbox, for GC games too....

but yeah thanks for being the guinea pig and self-owning yourself... again

[solsub]

FirstKnight doesn't want to stop acting like an idiot. It's his reason for being.

[Craig David]

Cant believe I paid £40 for the R2, not only is the game sh!t but it has some of the worst GFX this generation, I felt ripped of when bought it, Now I feel like Ive been mugged.

[digger18]

Talking bollox again I see.

[email protected] asswipe

[heyheyhey]

HMV huh? sheepy

[Magic_The_Celt]

Im glad, you feel mugged, i smile in your dispare.

[LarVanian]

If this offer happens in retailers around my town I will definitely go up and purchase Motorstorm: PR.

[heyheyhey]

nope.... only shopto.com do these kind of deals... all other retailers will stick to standard prices until the games hit bargain bin

[FantasyStar]

Same here, I would hump it once more for a friend...uh...for Christmas.

[heyheyhey]

im sure a bunch of 360 fanboys will rush in claiming Sony are desperate and had to cut the prices of games because they are not selling(EDIT: yep, so bloody predictable)...

...without realizing shopto.com have been doing £19.99 deals for games for like 6 or something years now.... Sony haven't "slashed" anything

but that's dumbass 360 fanboys for you.... spew sh!t first, read later (or don't read at all, why would you read? you don't need to read to play Halo do you? you just need an appreciation for pretty colors and power rangers.... assumptions are bliss aren't they?)

[Citizen Cook]

Thats why, they have to give them away! Clear the old stock for more 360 games!

[digger18]

Xbox fans should goto my local Gamestation store, plenty of second hand Gears 2 there, real cheap too

[Pika-pie]

Dammit!! Grrr could have saved myself a few bob

[Kemicalbeliefs]

I've used shopto for some time now and they're my pick for online shopping because generally they are the cheapest.
I recently got Tomb Raider and Motorstorm 2 for £24 and £25.

Next day delivery for free and good service regarding new releases.

[RussDeBuss]

wowza, i was gonna buy resistance last night for £35, glad i didnt.
i'm gonna order this now.

[bviperz]

For sure!

[kosovo]

God is good!

[barakiu]

all the time

[Arsenal4Ever]

MSPR sold 1 million copies worldwide. I thought it flopped like the 360 fanboys said so. LBP probably at 1 mil now too. R2 soon to follow, still hard to get a copy in UK. Mine still hasn't ARRIVED. C'mon LITTLEWOODS hurry tfu with my game. :)

[DARK WITNESS]

where in the UK are you ? I see R2 everywhere i go. i have not seen it sold out anywhere.

[jack who]

lol wat flops 20$ does this mean Resistance 2 vs GOW2 is over? and GOW2 won

[Foliage]

You must be the product of inbreds.

It isn't "20$" it is £20. If you don't understand that difference you should learn something about money besides crawling to your mommy whenever you want to get a new toy.

Secondly, shopto have these deals all the time. Those prices are not available any where else. Read before coming to a conclusion. It might have saved you from wasting money on a large heat producing brick like the 360.

[jack who]

1 sry my keybord dont have teh E

2 new games at 20$?where tellll meeeee now (i need more 360 games)

[Shakyhand]

ShopTo have had these deals every Christmas for the last 6 years.
Also R2 is their top selling game at the moment and GeOW2 is at 13 in their charts.

[Foliage]

They even have an xbox 360 for "107$" (as you would put it), lol wat flops 107$ does this mean PS3 vs 360 is over? and PS3 won:
http://www.shopto.net/page....

"new games at 20$?where tellll meeeee now (i need more 360 games)"
I'd like to help you further with that, but sadly the 360 doesn't really give you many options when it comes to games.

[jack who]

i said new as in came out less then a week

edit: @ 4.3 if GOW2 cost 2 times as less as R2 it would be on top of the charts dont you think?

[Foliage]

"i said new as in came out less then a week"

What has the 360 released that is worth playing in the last week?

[Shakyhand]

The price was only cut today. Those charts aren't updated daily. They're also awaiting stock for R2 as there has been a distribution problem in the UK.

[Magic_The_Celt]

hahaha jack who, stupid american

[Sickr]

Shopto = Easily the best online game store ever.

Cheap prices, free next day delivery and pre orders shipped early.

Fooking 'A.

XD

[AriesFury]

That's not in US Dollars, English Pounds. There will be a difference in price when you convert the two.

[y0haN]

Isn't shopto.net that dodgy site with the guy who runs it being a scam artist who got out of his last retailing site by declaring bankrupt at several million pounds in, and how he does it now is by using his wife's name or something?

[silky]

to my knowledge, no

[Magic_The_Celt]

Hey guys if your in the UK like me

LittleBigPlanet, Resistance 2, Motorstorm 2 all at £19.99 which is amazing value, so pick em up!
