PS4 Users Charged Nearly £60 for EA Digital Downloads

In a fit of generosity Electronic Arts has dropped the price of some of its PS4 launch digital titles. The question is whether it's generous to consumers or to the death twitching bricks'n'mortar retailers who need high-priced digital offerings this Xmas tide.

Yesterday a lengthy list of EA digital download titles was released onto the PS Network Store. Staggeringly prices ranged from 'Free' to a massive £62.99 for the 16Gb Need for Speed Rivals. The list was:

Killzone Shadow Fall (38.2GB) – £52.99
Call of Duty: Ghosts (31.8GB) – £54.99
FIFA 14 (9.9GB) – £62.99
Battlefield 4 (36.4GB) – £62.99
Need for Speed Rivals (16GB) – £62.99
Knack (34.8GB) – £52.99
Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag (21.7GB) – £57.99
Resogun: (460MB) – £12.79 or free with PS+
LEGO Marvel Super Heroes (6.4GB) – £52.99
NBA Live 14 (9.3GB) – £62.99
Injustice: Gods Among Us Ultimate Edition (21.7GB) – £52.99

Those were pulled together by CVG

However, today EA has taken... £3 off those prices.

According to MCV, "As of this morning each game is priced at £59.99.

"That’s still a hefty sum, however, and perhaps more importantly is £5 more than the games are available for digitally on Xbox One via Xbox Live."

Yes, yes it is.
