Yes, we're also disappointed that the game's titled High Stakes on the Vegas Strip: Poker Edition, and not High Stakes on Vegas: Strip Poker Edition... but hey, more games on the PSN are always welcome. Sony Online Entertainment has announced that it is developing High Stakes on the Vegas Strip: Poker Edition. The game will be available via download on PlayStation Network, and should see a retail price of US$ 9.99.

The game should allow players to show off their skills in Texas Hold'em, Super Hold'em, Billabong, Tahoe and Shanghai. Each of the five different styles of poker can be played as limit, pot limit or no limit poker. Multiplayer is available for all games (otherwise why release on on the PSN), and six people should be able to play together on one table at a time in glorious 1080p (as if better resolution mattered in poker. If it was strip poker, then 1080p would probably matter...).

The weird part about this is that if they figure out a way for people to play poker for free on PlayStation Home, then the purchase of this game will be moot. Well the actual game does boast a decent single player mode that can be run on Turbo or something like that. The point is, if Home is indeed as robust as Sony's hyping it up to be, then massively multiplayer online poker should be doable in it ...for free. Sad, but true.
