1UP: Warhawk Download version only $20?

"Multiplayer shooter Warhawk for the PlayStation 3 will be the first big game available exclusively via download (for we hear, $20) when it hits the PlayStation Network this fall."

Tekken 5 in US was $20, and in UK it was £7. Does this mean this game is gonna be £7 in the UK?

[Adriokor]

If it is it is a fair price

[SuperSaiyan4]

$20 in the US for T5?? Finally Europe gets the better deal!!

[achira]

wow, if true a very great deal!

[TruthHurts]

i hope socom is the same price.

$20 is a steal for a solid online only shooter.

do this SONY.

[Mycococo]

i will get the disc version just to have it and the headset(hope the headset says warhawk or something) and then buy it online cause it is so cheap so i dont have to keep puttung the disc in.

[Snake_Doctor]

And Warhawk will be too at that price. I want to hear some definitive confirmation on price before my hopes get too high.
Edit:
pulled this from 1up

"Sony is rumored to be building its games in chunks to reach this magic price. Take Warhawk, for example. If the multiplayer-only downloadable game sells well this fall, its makers may add a single-player campaign for, say, $10, vehicle packs for $5 each, and so on—until eventually the game will have all the pieces of a $60 title that Sony can ship on a Blu-ray disc. This business model cuts down on a game's initial budget, helps players dictate a game's content (by what they buy and how they play it), and even makes brick-and-mortar stores happy because they'll have something to sell. Everyone wins."

There'll probably be plenty of downloadable content. That means not everyone will be able to play against everyone else owning the game in the same terrains, with the same weapons and vehicles; that's why I never buy extra maps when playing shooters online. It just isn't worth it because there aren't as many guys playing as there are on the free (included) maps.

Then again it will hopefully include everything, but I doubt it. $20 bucks is just too little, considering it takes advantage of a lot of the PS3 hardware, and considering it has been in development for a long time. But maybe that's why there are rumors about Incognito and Sony parting separate ways.

[DiabloRising]

I don't think that's possible, as Incognito is a part of SCEA.

[Mishmash19]

$20 is lower than I thought they would charge for the game. I already have a bluetooth headset so I do not need the disc version. This game is a steal for that price if it stays true. The beta is addicting and the game will only be better once it is released. Hope the price stays the same.

I do not buy add-on content either. As long as I the game is fun and people are on to play the levels I have, I can careless about an extra map or 2 and more uniform apparrel.

[Covenant]

Fair deal.

About what I expected.

[sumfood4u]

Sounds like a fair deal! If PS3 keeps this up, it can make up loss time for pushing back great games! Which we are Antisipating for!

[RunamukK]

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!20 bucks is cheap for a title like this.

[warfed]

I'll get the Blu-Ray version... that way I actually feel like i own it :D

[twostep18]

ha srsly i wanna be able to like hold the game

screw the downloading ill just fork out the extra cash

[Firewire]

I don't expect it to be $20, this article is just speculating.
I expect it will be $30 and $49.99 for the disc & headset.
But we will have to wait & see.

[Delive]

Either way, I'm all over it, unless it's like Shadowrun. Online only, $59.99. Then they can keep it, eat it, shove it Whatever.

[Vojkan]

Take that HAlo3!!! just kidding :-)

[sonarus]

i expect 30 dollars for the downloadable and 60 for the blu ray with head set. If its 20 dollars i expect they plan to add lots of downloadable content. The game actually plays great and does a good job of not beeing jst another online shooter

[XxZxX]

$20 for those?? u got to be kidding me. I played so much Warhawk lately, that's a steal.

BTW the headset is for communicating team games not for chatting unless you play in DeathMatch, I played yesterday with a bunch of f@g skeep talking on the team channel. "OMG This game is cool, i think i gonna get it. I also think what should be improve..............." throughout the next 4 games, they talking and talking and talking, no team coordinating but just yapping and yapping. If you happen to be one of those f@gs yesteday. STFU.

[SmokeyMcBear]

yes, i too hate that, thats why i loved counterstrike, team coordinating and strategy, ive played halo at my cousins, and its pretty much either some stupid kids making noises and crap into the mic, or yelling about getting owned, crap like that

[warfed]

Just mute em... that's what I do they not gonna be any help anyway

[XxZxX]

i know who is talking in CS, but in Warhawk I have no idea who's talking and who to mute.

[BIadestarX]

Great Price! This game is a most have for anyone that has a PS3. This game is may be one of the reason why I buy a PS3 before metal gear or final fantasy come out... I will wait for reviews.. but this game seems to be a great game.

[fenderputty]

I can confirm that it is a great game. This game and heavenly sword come out on the same day. Wooo hooo.

[razer]

I'm all over this like maggots on a hot can of corn!

Makes me feel like a total chump spending $10 on some of the crap that's on XBLA! This is good mojo for Sony and really starts to make Xbox Live look overpriced... an interesting PR angle for sure.

If they add a single-player campaign later that would be awesome. I can't wait to play this

[SIX]

I see this as a bad omen for not much content. I hope I'm wrong.

[ER1X]

For what they're offering, 20 bucks is a steal.

[SIX]

but with that said. Is the beta pretty much a full game with bugs? I've never participated in a beta test but I've always assumed the beta is like a demo with limited access to the actual full game. Sorry if I sound a little blank. I want this game to be good and not half assed.

[MetalProxy]

Twenty Dollars!!!! I spend more than that at the bar and all I get is a hang over. I have been waiting in line Sony hook it up!

[Cosmo]

I'd say $50 when you take into account bar entries and alcohol

[ps3FTW]

Dam hopefully that is true.

[lil bush]

you guys its 40 bucks for the disc version ( with a free bluetooth headset) and probably 20 0r 30 for the DL version, dont beleive me go check ebgames or gamestop.com.........

[DiLeCtioN]

7pounds now thats a great deal but i need pre-payed network cards its much easier for me

[Sevir04]

the beta is just great with a few bugs. they'll have that ironed out by this september so i aint worried. The full game will launch with 25 maps over 5 planets and multiple weapons for the warhawks and the jeeps, and charaters on foot. with a bluetooth headset 39.99 seems logical for a multiplayer only game thats disc based, now the 20 dollar thing... for all that that was discribed... thats a freakin run-a-way steal and never come back price point. now downloadable conten would only make this game even more wantable and must have. i will certainly own the disc based one though because i cant really put up with downloading a whole game. now if they were only releasing it as a download only then i would but i'll have the Disc, that way i can show it to my friend, but still if the download is anywhere near the fill size that tekken 5 was then i dont have a problem either. i cant wait for this game to come out. incog crafted a very robust game that will Share in Resistances success as it and Motorstorm and calling all cars are Sony's PS3's monster champions in online. this game can add to that as well
