Siren: Blood Curse priced, dated for Europe -��19.99, July 24th

If there's one thing that we want to know about Siren: Blood Curse it's what's it going to cost us to play. You see, while Sony is releasing the game in Japan in both downloadable and Blu-ray formats, it's straight up "episodic" on PlayStation Network for both the European and North American markets. While we don't have the price for North American gamers just yet, ThreeSpeech says the European version will be £4.99 (about $10) for a "chapter" containg three episodes, or £19.99 (about $40) for all four chapters. (Sorry, no prices in Euros).

If there's two things that we want to know about Siren: Blood Curse, it's the cost (see above) and when we're going to be able to play it. ThreeSpeech says all four chapters will be released on July 24th in Europe, meaning you could just buy the whole thing on day one or, alternatively, buy each chapter as you get to it. Don't like the first chapter? Don't buy any more. Don't have time to finish the game right now? Buy the rest when you're ready; it's the same price either way. A novel concept, but we can't help but want a Blu-ray release alongside it, what with our PS3s filling up and all.

Until SONY figures out how to have multiple PSN accounts ON THE SAME MACHINE access downloadable full games for the purpose of seperate stat tracking...I'm not buying it as a DL.

Killer, the ONLY game that has that problem is Warhawk. I think it's time you updated your "pointless Fuck Sony complaint" list, buddy. Cause this one ain't working out for you.

sony still selling $40 demos's?

tmacairjordan87 @ Jul 4th 2008 4:56PM

I'm not sure how $40 for a full game is the same as a demo. I'd like to see you try and explain it though...

That was almost clever but the pretty extensive demo is available for free. But you wouldn't know.

£5 an episode is a very reasonable price imo, considering full games usually cost £45 rrp in the UK.

I played the demo and it disturbed me. I love horror movies but can't take action horror games. :(

This is far too reasonable a price for a normal UK release, if the game was good then Sony would charge much more.

Either the game is shat or the price is wrong.

Ummmmm you're dumb. Its's basic economics actually. when you don't have to pay for disc replication, packaging, and distribution. It reduces your overhead, when you reduce your overhead you can sell things at a lower cost while still maintaining a profit. making it possible to buy a quality game for bargain prices.
