Back in October of last year, Phil Harrison revealed during a Gamer's Day event that Sony is aiming for PlayStation Store prices of US$ 14.99 or less. Apparently, some people took this as gospel, and so were surprised when Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection carried a price tag of US$ 19.99 upon release.

Speaking with IGN, Sony Computer Entertainment PR Manager Al de Leon clarified that "the PlayStation Store retail price for a piece of content depends upon the wholesale price set by the publisher." While some games, expansion packs, and other downloadable stuff will stick pretty close to the US$ 15 target price, some titles could exceed it.

"The October Gamers Day [on October 19, 2006] was specific to titles at launch," said de Leon. "We haven't announced a specific price range or cap for downloadable games since launch, but as you can see on the Store, PS3 owners can purchase content at a variety of price points -- including demos and trailers for free, classic titles like Q*bert for $4.99, and full arcade ports like Tekken 5 for $19.99."

tekken 5 dr 1080p for just 20 bucks, the only people that complains are those that have invalid credit cards or doesnt have one and specially those that cant even afford a ps3.
my wish, Super Street Fighter 2 New Challengers Turbo and Marvel VS Capcom to be also available on PS3 Online Store or on PS3 BD. dotn forget the online VS, voice chat, etc.
