Echochrome Holds Hefty Pricetags

Echochrome may look like an extremely basic game from a visual standpoint, but it’s interesting twist on puzzle solving puts it into a completely unique and entertaining category. Unfortunately though, it belongs to two different categories as far as the Playstation 3 and PSP are concerned. While the title will be releasing on both consoles, it has been assigned a very strange and quite expensive price difference on both formats in Japan.

The title costs approximately $17US in Japan, which in itself is really on the expensive side for downloadable content. However, when you compare it to how much PSP users will be forking out, approximately $37US based on the Japanese prices, suddenly that $17 dollars doesn’t seem so bad. Of course, the titles have not yet made the swap to the North American market, so hopefully Sony aims lower, instead of higher, unless they want a mild riot on their hands.
