Clicking the link above ^ will direct you to the Amazon.com page for Watch_Dogs, where you can select the version you want based on which console you want. The current-gen console versions will set you back around $60, the standard asking price for a game, but the PS4 version is shown as being a whopping $99.99. Granted the page appears to have a placeholder release date, but it's the first PS4 game that's been given a price on the site.
Could we really be looking at £65/$100 games? Here's hoping this really is just a placeholder...
Further investigations reveal [url=http://www.edge-online.com/news/ps4-games-will-cost-no-more-than-60/]this article[/url] which states [i]"Sony is aiming for a ceiling price of $60 for headline PS4 releases"[/i], but this simply says they will "aim for" the price. What are the odds the ceiling could be a colossal $100? Amazon representatives have commented on Facebook that the price is in fact just a placeholder, as they don't know the full cost just yet. We'll have to keep our eyes open on this one methinks.

Would you buy a standard game for $100? I know my only purchases would be Destiny, Halo, and maybe Gears of War. I would absolutely NEVER buy a new franchise game for $100. $60 is already incredibly expensive. I know many games have replay value that exceeds the $60 price tag but for the most part most games are worth $40 at best. That's why most games drop in price quite quickly. If PS4 games started at $100 you would see price drops within the first week followed by every release start at $70(at the very very worst). Could you imagine trying to sell hardware when their is the current gen 360, PS3, and WiiU selling games for $40 cheaper?
