Here's another quick story for our Australian readers. Wonder what the downloadable games will cost you? Sony has priced them and they are as follows:
Demos are free, of course
Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection -- A$16.95
Blast Factor -- A$8.45
GripShift -- A$8.85
Lemmings -- A$13.37
There are supposed to be more games due out upon launch, but they've not been confirmed/priced.
Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.
I have heard that PS2 USB peripherals such as Buzz and SIngstar mics will be compatible on the PS3 in Australia. Does anybody know if this is the same for the European models too? and if i bought singstar for the PS2 and played on a European PS3 -would the mics work?
(ps. i apologize for all my questions-but without a forum i am stuck)
thanks :)
I also thought Gripshift was missing launch as i am under the impression it is in the UK.
