Not too bad is about the extent of it. While one price shouldn’t be indicative of any other game prices, there’s at least a little comfort in the recently announced pricing of Resistance: Fall of Man, Motorstorm, and Genji. 5980 yen. Roughly $50 US. That’s really cool, should the prices remain the same upon the North American release. Will they? Maybe. Maybe not. No use guessing, but we can pray to the almighty lords of gaming to make it so. Let’s not forget that Sega also released some prices a few weeks ago: Sega Golf Club and Sonic are both being priced at 7140 yen (about $60)… the expected next-gen pricing, but didn’t someone see Sonic for cheap somewhere? Maybe that was a dream. Seems the pricing will be stuck around $50-$70. Oh well. Is anyone unnaturally bent out of shape about this?

Funny accents aside, the boys at Playstation 3 Magazine (PSM3) have scored big, posting video of an actual PS3 powering up and then loading Motorstorm. The PS3 seems to have skipped the inclusion of a snazzy boot screen… it simply dumps you into the PSP-ish menu system. Boot and load times seem a tad long, but it’s not too much more than the current batch of consoles (and nothing like you’d see on an actual PSP). We’re looking forward to more clips from the PSM3 team… let’s see Motorstorm in action (is this the only game they have?).
