Regionfree games will rock, I might even be able to have German dialoge by activating it on the disks I buy in the USA Yeah, I lived in Germany for a while and games are overpriced.

So we will se ANOTHER price leap in games? First the more expensive PS2 games (usually games clocked in at about 80DMs (~40€), then the PS2 came and suddenly many games (ALL ps2 and xbox games) did cost 120DMs (~60€)... Man, I hate being a german milking cow... If that doesnt stop, I wont stop importing games... I still hope, Sony stays true to no region coding in games! Lik Sang importing (with the all time high euro exchange course at about $1 ~ 1.2€) with no shipping costs rocks :D Just to tell you, ALL new PS2 games cost 60€ in good ol’ germany (inlcuding tax of course)

I buy a lot of games from Tesco as they are usually £30 for new releases. I agree I will be very surprised if PS3 games cost more than 360 games & they definitley won't cost less. I think developers will use downloadable content to gain some extra revenue as they aren't stupid & will be aware that most gamers won't pay over the odds for games.

While i don't expect PlayStation 3 games to be any more expensive than Xbox 360 games, i don't expect them to be any cheaper, expect the same prices in almost every region for games. Gary i'd recommend you check out http://www.gameplay.com if you haven't already, they've been my place for games for a while now, all Xbox 360 games are £39.99 (saving of either £5 or £10) so expect a similar drop when PlayStation 3 games go on sale. The delivery is great as well, pre-orders have always come a day early and its only 99p, order before 4pm and it will be with you the next day usually.

So that doesn't necessarily mean PS3 games will cost more because of BR. I've had to miss my weight training yesterday & today because I have a stupid cold! :( Well BR movies can be bought for $19.99.
