Local PS3 replication of games officially confirmed by Sony

Earlier we reported that PS3 games were going to be locally replicated in India, but now we have official confirmation from Sony.

They have announced a list of titles that will be sold for Rs 999, and this is possible due to manufacturing them locally. These games will be available from April 3rd in the country.

“These titles will be introduced in smaller waves beyond the first wave described during the summer months. This will allow the new consumers to start gaming without having to worry on the running cost of the games and the quality of games available at affordable price points,” the press release reads.

“Such an attractive range of marquee titles at the ESSENTIALS price band will allow new gamers to easily enter the PS3 category. And what better than the summer holiday season to introduce such a large range of affordable game choices to own and add to one’s collection,” Mr. Atindriya Bose, Country Manager, Sony PlayStation said.

• God of War Collection Volume 1
