While it includes a headset, I still think thats a bit steep for a multiplayer only game but Shadowrun was also fully priced.

1.1 - i'll say this
if the PSN version is 10-20 bucks then this is a rather STEEP price for this game. I know it comes with a headset but there are real good cheap bluetooth headsets out there.

1.2 - They should include Warhawk (PSX) on the disc...
Bluetooth wireless headset,
Those usually cost 39.99 and up(brand name). Shadowrun came with nothing, let alone the PC counterpart was 10 dollars cheaper.
I think the DLC will start at $30 and the "diaries" will be the same ones you can find on the internet. So those are probally going to be pointless, but I wouldn't mind if Bluray version came with Warhawk for the playstation (PSX) on the same disc.

Who said anything about 10 bucks? 20 would be the definite cheapest it would go for, and even then the game is a bargain. Show me a good bluetooth headset for under 40 bucks, tell your cousin to send me the link when you find it.

Agree Shadowrun should have been a $40 game...
It is cool but it is not uber at aall with texture issues and a rather small map selectyion. The game itself is interesting and well executed but I thought it was about choice???
Not with Shadowrun sadly.

2.2 - agreed...Shadow = Too expensive... Warhawk=?
Really its hard to say at the moment if this is too expensive or not. I mean, multiplayer only games unless packed with lots of maps and/or a persistent updated world (aka WOW) should not be full boat. BUT...the headset adds the wrinkle of unknown. If the headset is really nice then yeah..you bet $60 is worth it. But if its some cheap peice of crap headset that has issues working then I wouldn't even count the headset as part of the package and suddenly you are looking at a mulitplayer only game for $60. So then we must judge if the game itself is worth $60.
I personally couldn't tell you if its worth it...but I know Shadowrun wasn't.

I think as long as the headset is above average (which by all accounts it is) then I think full price is ok for the game it you don't have a headset - if you do then you should definately download it.

Keep in mind that the retail version is a special edition. (rumored to have "Making of" "Behind the Scenes" features). This game is a downloadable title through PSN and will clearly cost significantly less than $60. (most likely $30 or less) I don't think it's accurate to compare it to Shadowrun seeing as you have two options, 1. A packaged title 2. Downloadable title.
Either way, there's a definite quality of value to both options. (considering the MSRP is over $45 for the headset alone) Personally I think Shadowrun's price-point was over the top. I imagine a 39.99 price to have been much more profitable overall, in addition to having a greater value for consumers. Shadowrun would have made a great XBLA title.

I don't want to derail the discussion, but I remember listening to the interview with the developer of Shadowrun. He was rather upset that his game didn't get good reviews, and that it wasn't doing too well in general. I think the number one issue was just that the price was too high for a multiplayer game. I don't doubt that the game was fun, or that it was fairly innovative for a FPS, but I agree that $60 is a lot for a game who's audience will be stolen when Halo 3 is released. (Imagine trying to find players for Shadowrun, when most have migrated to Halo 3 MP)
I hope that Microsoft has a change of heart on size limitations for XBLA. I think downloadable MP only games are great for consumers who are mostly interested in online play but don't want to break the bank. Especially since a good MP game with a good audience has almost infinite replayability. (just look at Counter-Strike)
I'm glad that Sony is doing it with Warhawk, Socom and supposedly LBP too. It's great for consumers, and works out incredibly well for developers too.

11.1 - Headset?
what do people use now? i know PS3 has has some great multiplayer action! kinda of confused about some of these comments concerning need for headset. isn't it hard to play a game like Resistance without the headset now? i'm waiting for a price drop, but i do own a 360. at times games are better without the headset(ex. 12 year old singing), but i use it most of the time just to figure out what everyone on my team is trying to do. btw, any news on price drop?

You can use almost any BT or USB headset. The one included in Warhawk is RUMORED to be the Jabra BT125 (which at most retailers runs $30-40) a decent and nicely compact model, I currently use it and it works quite well. As I have it I'll more than likely just DL the Game.

if they fix the little issues the beta testers have had (crashing obviously, and some better weapon balacing)...the game is definitely worth 60 bucks with a headset...I kind of doubt it will end up being that much, especially if it does hit the PSstore for the rumored ~$35...but the extremely deep ranking system, and huge amount of options for servers and gameplay will keep the replay value of this game extremely high...
I have held off on Sigma, the Darkness, and R6 Vegas just to wait until this beta is over...its the only thing I have touched on the ps3 since I got into it a few weeks ago...its not quite perfect yet...but the issues are being addressed, and this should turn out to be one of the best ps3 games of the year...

Actually those issues have already been fixed. The beta is pretty awesome at this point and we're told that the final code has been even further refined... so this game will be a definite purchase for me. It's already awesome with the number of maps in the beta... can't wait to see the new ones.

15.1 - Same for me.
most shooters have a nice single player mode but, the aspect that really sucks me in and keeps me coming for more is the multiplayer. Warhawk has an awesome multiplayer set up. I played the Beta and loved it. If it comes with a headset, 59.99 is for sure worth it.

I had hoped the price would be cheaper but they are selling it with a better quality bluetooth headset than I had imagines. Apparently it is a $40 Jabra model. I've been in the beta since it started and I definitely feel it is worth the price if you need the headset.

24 - okay............
so i've been completely against this game since it was first announced as multi-player only. and when it was rumored to full priced, i vented even more. i said there was no way i was buyin it.
but after two weeks of playin the beta...............
not only am i gettin the game, im buyin it full priced (i need another headset anyway, tired of using the same one for my phone).
testing this game was the best thing sony could have ever done for gaining my support. i admit to being totally wrong about the concept of this game and i cant wait for its release. now all i need is a date.

26 - I Don't think the price is official.
Gamestop and EB had prices listed for this in store in the past, well before the Headset was added and even before the DL version was announced for $59.99. I think they just put it out there as a placeholder with a guess price until they get an official word. The $59.55 display case was only out for like 3 weeks in GS before it mysteriously disappeared.
By the way, they also have 2 worlds listed for Pre-order on the PS3. Last I heard, it was only 360 and PC. But it would be nice.

28 - If
If the PS store version is around 20-30 then the retail version should be around 50 bucks, if the PS store version is 20 since the bluetooth is only 30bucks.
Whoever disagreed failed math, because last I checked if the PSN version cost 20, and the blue tooth headset coming with it goes for 30bucks add that to the PSN value of the game thats 50bucks, am I right or are people just disagreeing to be idiots.

ppl who say sony shouldnt offer more than 20 for this game are incredibly narrow minded. A ton of games come out that definetly arent 60 bucks but they don't get critisized this bad. Warhawk is an excellent game that got cut short with no single player. But after playing the multiplayer i can sincerely say it is in this aspect the game shines. 20 bucks would be a nice price but it is more than generous in my opinion. Shadowrun came out at 60 bucks offering the same thing and didnt get critisized. In fact no one would be complaining about the price if it wasnt under debate.
