Play.com are taking preorders for PS3 titles at £49.99. This is £10 more then the Xbox 360 and Wii game prices
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.
Some places sell them for £40!
Play.com is one of the cheapest online games store,find me a site that will be cheaper
The article says that Play.com are to release the ps3 games for £10 more than 360 games within it's own site. nowhere is it suggeting a price comparison with other retailers.
Can you go ahead and use your last bubble please?
Any way this is what we expected. As a 360 owner I wont have a gamer dry spell like most hard core PS3 whenthe shortage hits. And people will be selling PS3 in june or july 2007 I'll get mine then. And if the games are not cheap then so be it only buy the games you want and it wont be a problem. And yes the High price of the PS3 sucks bad but fi you want it you will pay thats why I wait to see whst happens.
I remember when Resident Evil 2 first came out on the PS1 and it was sold at £50. So this is not a completely surprising price point.
Still at the current rate of conversion that is almost $94 a game, fairly pricey.
