Siren: Blood Curse on PSN

Ah ha. Maybe Sony was actually listening after all when I had cautioned them on how they price things. We’ll see if they actually keep this up and actually pay attention as games are released but more importantly, how games depreciate with time.

But this is definitely a step in the right direction. The series, Siren: Blood Curse will be released in three episodic packs. Each pack will have four episodes and will cost $15USD. If you buy all three packs, then it’ll cost $40USD which is a discount of $5USD. I would imagine that this game would come out on Bluray for somewhere around $50USD or more. If it doesn’t, then it doesn’t really make buying online really worthwhile since you lose out on the packaging costs and don’t own the mediums.

If more games are released like this, then I can also see Sony actually releasing more hardware such as backup storage or harddrive upgrades and so on so forth. The more they push for DLC and price it right, the more people will be up for buying more of the hardware. It’s all but obvious where Sony would like to push for their strategy with their online shop, but the question is more of whether or not they can harness the price to do their bidding. And so far, I’ll have to say that I’m impressed.
