Considering it's a glorified demo I still think £24.99 is a decent enough price for a boxed release. There's a lot of content there.

What I don't understand is why Sony are pricing it as £24.99 on the UK PSN store. No box, no instruction manual. So why does it cost the same as a retail product?

Especially considering that Curry's are selling it at £19.99, £5 cheaper than the PSN store.

I think £14.99 would be a better price for the PSN store, if not then at least match Curry's store price.

Rant over.

RandC quest for Booty 14 bucks.

And yea I have it. That was the right price for a cool new little chapter to the last game"



Now if GT5 was like GT5P I would say yea. But fact is GT5 will be something way beyond GT5P. So why even close in price?

That does bother me. Thats one of the few that I said, is not worth it. Because you know GT5 is just gonna be sick deep. And so why pay even half of that, for 1/100th of the real game. And for none "of some" of the stuff it will do physics wise?

Hmm, might be worth checking that out after pay day.

Still, it puts Sony's pricing on PSN under even more scrutiny considering the DL doesn't have packaging, booklet or any sort of physical distribution.
