While Sony hasn’t said much about software pricing, Nippon Ichi came out of the game and set Disgaea 3: Absence of Detention at 6,090 yen ($80). Square Enix’s launch games, Lord of Apocalypse and Army Corps of Hell, will retail for 5,980 yen ($78) and 4,980 yen ($65) respectively.
Dark Quest Alliance aka Gameloft’s Dungeon Hunter Alliance is just 2,940 yen ($38)– or 2,899 if you get it from Amazon.
