Sony Computer Entertainment UK has confirmed the price drop of Platinum PS2 games.
All Platinum titles for the PS2 will be available to retailers at nearly a third less than before, meaning stores can begin to sell individual games at £14.99 and less.
Sony Computer Entertainment UK"s David Wilson confirmed the good news: "From this point onwards with new releases we have set a new trade price for Platinum. Consumers should be able to find our Platinum titles at a lower price."
However, Wilson has not stated that £14.99 is indeed the new standard retail price (SRP). "All we"ve done is to offer a better cost price to enable retailers to include our product in their campaigns - so this may lead to reduced prices on individual product or to more attractive offers", he says.
