Today's news comes just over a week after the Sony Style online store revealed the US prices of PS3 games. Unlike Japan, games for the platform were listed at a standard $59.99 price point for both first- and third-party titles. European and Australasian prices for PS3 games have not yet been revealed.

Where is the original thread on this?

I wonder if this means First Party games could still be $49.99 in the USA. We never received official pricing yet in the USA except for the system. Overall these game prices are lower than the anticipated speculated pricing.

I still see people touting bogus numbers going all the way up to the $100 dollar range based on old Sony interviews that gave a broad range of what games could cost. This is actually updated and verifiable comfirmation that the games will be inline with what we see with the XBox 360.

Although the Sony Style Store link has been used to point out that US games will all be $60, I was still waiting for some other source just to make sure it was going to be the case.

Yeah I've seen Sonystyle mark other products higher price than the intended MSRP. Hopefully we get clarification October 19.
