Braid Is Indeed $15
When we posted the news on pricing for the Jonathan Blow's Braid for Xbox Live Arcade last week, Microsoft was quick to respond to the post, telling us that the price listing on the Japanese site was incorrect, and that pricing was still being determined. Well now the official price has been revealed over at the Gamerscore Blog, and Braid will indeed cost 1200 Microsoft Points - $15 - when it is released this Wednesday. I don't know why they'd go to all the trouble to deny the pricing, only to confirm it as correct a week later. More »

On The Rain-Slick System Specs Of Darkness
Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness comes out this spring, and while Xbox 360 just have to worry about when to download the game, PC, Linux, and Mac users have other worries. How much is this game going to cost me? Is my computer powerful enough to run this monster? Will I be able to perform a Hyper Ultra Extra Combo Extreme? Fortunately the latest press release from Hothead Games answers the first two questions, announcing a price of $19.95 and some relatively modest system specifications located after the jump. As for the third question, just check out the latest screenshots to catch a glimpse of the mystical H.U.E.C.E.. Magnificent, I say! More »

PS3 Used As Example of Over Priced Electronics
USA Today ran one of those no-brainer stories today about how people won't, in fact, pay anything for electronics and do have limits for how much they're willing to spend. The story was spurred by last week's announcement by Steve Jobs that he was dropping the price of the iPhone by $200 (Hey, it suckered me into getting one.) More »

Rock Band Bundle On Amazon - $200
Amazon.com has posted listings for the Rock Band Collection for both the PS3 and Xbox 360, and it comes to no surprise to anyone involved that the set isn't going to be cheap. $200 will snag you a copy of the game, the drum set, a microphone, and either a wireless guitar for the PS3 or a wired one for the Xbox 360, with a potential release date of November 20th, which we'll consider speculation until we hear something official. Breaking it down, with the game at $60, the mic at $30, drums at $80 and the guitar at $60, it works out to a savings of some $30 on the overall price, as well as a very sad bassist. Adding in another guitar brings the grand total to $260 or $280 if you opt for the 360's wireless version, keeping things pretty much in line with current speculation. Mind you the prices are still subject to change, and even now these could just be placeholders, but it certainly seems reasonable to me. Having spent this past Saturday at a part that featured drunk people, SingStar and Guitar Hero, I can only imagine it will be totally worth it. More »

EB Games Prices Are Insane
While the prices you find on the used shelves at EB Games and GameStop generally follow no logical pattern whatsoever other than the whimsy of a man in an office somewhere who was never played a video game in his life, this one is just ridiculous. It's bad enough some of us paid $3.99 for the Burger King games, especially now that they've dropped down to $.99. Now EB comes along and wants to charge double original retail price for a used copy of Pocketbike Racer? More »

PS3 in the UK is Coming Sometime, Maybe
Will gamers in the UK have the option to buy the lower-priced version of the PS3, or will they be stuck with only the 60GB version to warm their hearts and soothe their souls? According to Eurogamer, nobody's quite clear on that, and Sony's not talking. I'm sure British gamers are shaking uncontrollably in anticipation. "Will we be allowed to buy the overpriced, underpowered platform, or will we only have the option of paying for the way overpriced version?" More »

Revolution Games To Be Cheap
Everything Nintendo says these days just seems to be designed to elicit an awed "Booyeah!" from legions of excited gamers. We really don't quite get how Nintendo transformed from the company sneering contemptuously at online gaming to the company that seems to be ticking off every box on a written check-list of gamers' unspoken wants, but talk about a company that suddenly has seemed to learn valuable lessons from its last gen beatings.
