One of more interesting games coming to the PSN & Xbox Live Arcade, just became a release PlayStation fans may be concerned about. After being questioned by the gaming community about the price difference on the PSN versus XBLA, the games developers responded with a detailed, although convoluted, statement explaining why the game is priced higher on PSN.
EA just hosted its quarterly financial conference call, and its executives have been asked to comment about the recent price hikes for games.
Today, Electronic Arts announced its financial results for the fourth quarter of its fiscal year 2025, alongside the full year.
Split Fiction has sold nearly 4 million copies, and the next battlefield is confirmed for a release by March 2026 with a reveal this Summer.
In addition to the roughly 100 job cuts IGN reported earlier today at Respawn Entertainment, EA has made wider cuts across its organization today, impacting around 300 individuals total including those already reported at Respawn.
Absolutely insane. Man I'm hope they land on their feet EA needs to get the shit together badly....
This is why this industry has slow releases and none compelling games.
Why would anyone willingly work in the VG industry or specifically for one of these globocorp organizations that put you in constant fear of losing your livelihood based on terrible choices made by idiotic management, not the people with talent making the actual games?
I expected this after people did the math and worked out how much more PSN was.
Oh and the word is Imminent meaning "very soon" not Eminent meaning "of high station".
Problem here is that when the price is dropped to 10 USD then PSN EU people are actually paying more for the game. And the cycle goes on...
If the price cut does occur Amy will still be available in the EU region and only be postponed in the US. So the article stating the PSN people will get this later than Xbox Live people is a tad bit misleading
Where were these PSN users when other games cost more on PSN?
Crysis 1 is cheaper on XBL
The EA/Activision/ubisoft etc full retail games for download are cheaper on XBL
And my personal favourite is that the Goldeneye DLC is free on US PSN & worldwide on XBL but is £1.59 on the UK PSN.
So why the sudden outcry with Amy?
I'm glad i got an Xbox earlier this year as i can now compare the prices between the platforms. All of the publishers are screwing over us PSN Users. It's been happening for a while.
It's about time Sony did something about it as i'm now purchasing download titles only on xbox because Sony won't demand price parity from the publishers. They're losing money from gamers such as myself who prefer the PS3 to the 360.
What are they stupid? Just decrease the amount of Euro's being made on European PSN to even out 10 dollars which is what 7.85 Euro? Why didn't they just do this from the beginning?
I vote for the lower price point. To me it's not about $3, it's about the simple fact that there's no real good reason, unless you count the PR bullshit explanation, that this should cost more on PSN than XBLA. If they were extra content, or it was a more beefed up version then okay. Otherwise it's just bullshit
