Tony Hawk Will Take Your Wallet for a Ride
Tony Hawk: RIDE just had its big reveal not too long ago. And the community was surprised to learn that the game would ship with a plastic peripheral in the shape of a (you guessed it) giant skateboard. We really don’t dig peripherals that are only useful for a single game, but the game should have a lot more information revealed come E3, so we will pass judgment for now.
The shocking thing here is the price that GameStop has listed on its website. Tony Hawkplans to rape your wallet of $120. If you are still interested in this game, GameStop is also showing a release date for October 13th, 2009. You can check out a screen-grab below or visit the site for yourself to see.
So, PlayStation LifeStyle readers, would you be willing to pay the excruciating price of an arm and a leg for the latest game in a series that has steadily decreased in quality over the years? Or would you rather just stick with the affordable, peripheral-less Skate 2?

the only way ill get this game is if it is a 10. it looks like it could be really fun but also could be really awful. the price is pretty much what i expected because with the price of a guitar controller this isnt that bad.

Definitely sticking with Skate 2. Nothing from TH will touch EA’s Skate in my opinion. I will be putting my $120 into other PS3 exclusives. Thanks, but no thanks.

Yep, I figured it would be a pretty penny. The game had better be BEAST! Hopefully there will be an alternative button configuration for the controller.

Speaking of which, I just bought a longboard last week. Sector 9 is awesome!

60 dollars seems a bit hefty… but since most well made Arcade sticks are 50-100, and a DS3 is 60… I mean it’s not THAT bad. I mean seriously.
Depending on how good it reviews I’ll pick it up. Eventually… one day… When I can afford to spend all of my gaming budget for 2 weeks on 1 game… Possibly… If I can afford it…
Damn my job.
