I've just read that link (Should really have done before replying last time. ) and it does say the full game for $40.

So probably £40 over here.

[MikeF]

Better not be, not paying £40 for a download

Will pay £25 at most

[Matt]

£6 sounds about right for an episode, especially if they want this type of thing to take off.

Spotted one thing which may explain the EU/US price difference for Siren , the EU release was quoted as twelve chapters released as four episode packs for a fiver each but the PS3fanboy link above quotes "$15 for each episode pack. Each episode pack will contain four episodes [snip] Buy all three episode packs and save $5."

So the US release appears to be the same twelve chapters released in only three episode packs.

It does seem strange that it may be bundled in two different ways though , makes me wonder if EU PSN will do three episode packs at eight quid or so with a fiver off for all three.

kernow, that is the right "game".

It is a bit like a TV channel to be honest with little game elements. Not bad for free!

talking of D/L price killing a game - look at Echochrome - 4.99 / 6.99 for the PSP n PS3 .. Then retail copies of the PSP cersion going for 20 quid a pop... That i found incredable.... Back to Siren - will you be able to purchase each episode over a period of weeks or the full game in one go... just wondering...

..free?

[MikeF]

All the articles on Siren that I have found do indicate that it will be £19.99 over here for the full game

Hope they are correct

[saif]

Yeah, free. Go DL it on the JP store. Most of the new tech on the XMB is tried out there and it runs RSS feed and music fine. it is pretty coool but TOTALLY in Japanese so most supposed ps3 sites don't know anything about it.

[MikeF]

What time does the UK store usually get updated on a Thursday?

Want to set Siren off nice and early assuming it's not too expensive

[VR46]

Between 10am and 1pm roughly. Usually one of those cases of "it's ready when it's ready" from Sony.

Make sure you have 9GB of space

[MikeF]

Got plenty of space left, updated to a 120gb drive a while back.

So unlikley to be up at 8am ish then

[VR46]

Put it this way, it'll be a first.

[JP]

Make sure you have 9GB of space

Has that been confirmed? Surprised it's so big really.

[VR46]

Apparently it takes 9GB of installation space yes. Could just be people being daft, but seen it mentioned on a couple of forums.
