"SOCOM: Confrontation comes today with a brand new trailer showing us a few phases of urban warfare taking place in the Middle East.

The game is scheduled for October 17. Three versions will be marketed. In the first place on the Playstation Store at 39.00 EUROS;, but also on Blu-Ray with a headset or without 59.00 EUROS to 39.00 EUROS.

As a reminder, be aware that the system of "Trophy" will be compatible and that personalizing your soldier will be very thorough. Finally, I would remind you that the title is that only playable online. "

Stop talking crap. I have reported you.

Quote:
"Pricing for both the PlayStation Network download and the retail stand alone version is $39.99 while the retail bundle version – which includes the (rather attractive) PS3 Bluetooth headset along with "exclusive Behind the Scenes videos" – will be $20 more, at $59.99. No prices yet for the rest of the world"

This news discusses the EUROPEAN prices, as they have just been revealed.

2 - that´s laughable...
@cp68

reported me? on what basis? "offensive"? Come on. It´s a comment.

On regards to Socom as so many other issues. Sony has been leaving Europe in the dust. No Beta news..."leftovers". No respect for Euroland.

And even on the price issue, based on your translated post. Prices are still higher than the US... so another rip-off

at todays exchange rate:
39 € = 57.0609 US$
59 € = 86.3229 US$

2.1 - what the hell are you talking about??
are you saying M$ is not on the same boat? I think games' prices for PS3 and 360 are about the same over there and even PC games cost more in Europe than NA! stop posting BS and about Sony leaving Europe in the dust thing, PlayTV says hello!!

Due to economic climates, pricing in regions is never equal and never has been. Exchange rates constantly shift, should manufacturers constantly rewrite their prices to suit?

EU have always paid more thean the US for almost everything, food, tech, energy, petrol, everything. We also have multiple faxes that do not effect US consumers. It's a fact of life we all have to deal with.

Im not defending the price strategy BUT

sony for example sold us "The Last Guy" for 7.99€ instead the NA 9.99$
wich is very cool, no pun but ms isnt doing such things in general.

+ i earn appropiate more here in germany then in the US. It's all about the Regional per head income compared to living costs. while you pay less ofr the games and consoles compared to the EU you also earn less. so its a square

btw to the first poster, palytv ?? europe only ?? how is this not showing love from sony ?

I understand what you are saying. But you guys make more money than us (states). So it balance out. If you go to some poor asian country their ps3 retail titles are around $40 compare to us. Now i can't fuss about that, can I ? In fact, hardly anyone even buys 360 games, all piracy.

The point is extremely simple to understand.

ALL consumer good are cheaper in the US than they are in Europe.
Sony's games are no exception, and neither are the titles for the 360 Wii, DS etc. Most TV's are almost half the price.

This is not due to a pricing policy of Sony's, it true of all sellers of consumer goods, so to argue that this is evidence of 'Sony shafting Europeans' is to miss the point entirely.

Your attitude and agression seem to suggest you know you arguing poitlessly, and you seem to be having a 'strop' because you were proved conclusively wrong about the title being a PSN release. Chill dude. It would be far better to post "whoops - I got my facts wrong!" rather than simply make more false assertions.

..and play TV is an add on for a games console. Of course its releated.

Socom is coming to PSN and BluRay.

Why is the pic to this story from Socom 3? That game is the black sheep of Socom. Please change it. It burns my eyes.

6 - Exchange rates and prices of games in Europe
Some or should I say most, retailers sell the games way above a reasonable margin profit in Euroland.

A game here general costs 69€ retail, that is 100$.That is roughly twice the game price in the US.

I know that the taxes on the product do not sum to double the amount or even 30%. Since I import and sell my self being owner of a small shop, guarantee if I sell at 42€ a game I still turn a profit. Small but it´s possible, now I´ll go as far as accepting the it´s not Sony fault but here should be some sort of regulation or equilibrium in that equation. Notice that some games are even made in Europe.

In any case, what of the difference in price in virtual products? Such as PSN titles? What account for that?

However my initial gripe wasn´t towards the pricing scheme of things but rather the "no info" policy in regards to Socom pre-order, beta entry etc. in Europe.

By that way... anyone know anything about it?

how about you stop posting such innacurate comments only based on your internet opinion. Your comments clearly tell me you have no clue about global economy, sales, margins, etc.

"Since I import and sell my self being owner of a small shop, guarantee if I sell at 42€ a game I still turn a profit." now your talking trash or wich is most obvision you call your ebay account a "shop".

Either your shop is sooooo small you only sell imported asian version wich you bought at a 25€ pricetag (+tax + import around 35) or your faking your income for the yearly taxbill. You do know that as a reseller you gotta pay taxes ? toll ? etc.

there is no way you can sell a game for 42€ in europe and make a profit. that would mean you get like 30€ (after taxes) and still make a profit. nice try mate but simply not true.

And about the Beta, im getting tired of people moaning about BETAS.
A BETA is a test program from the developers to TEST THEYRE game, and not to let you play the game in advance. If your not in its simply because of regional problematics ?

Ever wondered why most American devs make US only BETAS ? well its easy, look around mate and notice all this wonderfully written english of my fellow europeans (not native english speaking).

Its HORRIBLE to make a beta cross european (except closed betas where you can carefully pick or kick wortless users) and then read through those replys coming from 13 old kids speaking horrible english

small tip. Sony is very tollerate when it comes to multiaccounts. Make yourself a us account get your core episode 1 and join the BETA

sweet eh ? sony isnt that bad afterall
