PlayStation Vita digital-only launch games priced for UK

With the PlayStation Vita finally launching in North America and Europe on February 22nd, Sony has announced the prices for the initial first-party digital-only games that will hit the platform in the UK. There will be a total of five games at launch, including black-and-white puzzler Escape Plan (£9.99), darts game Top Darts (£6.49), virtual pool sim Hustle Kings (£6.49), arcade shooter Super Stardust Delta (£6.49), and racer MotorStorm RC (£4.79). The prices appear to be roughly in line with those in the US, where Super Stardust will sell for $9.99. Of course, the device will also launch alongside a number of non-digital-only titles as well, including Wipeout 2048 and Uncharted: The Golden Abyss, which will sell for an average of £33.99. In the US and Japan these games will be cheaper in digital form, and while that will likely be the case in the UK, it has yet to be confirmed.
