Namco Bandai has just announced that Katamari Forever, the PS3 exclusive game where you play as a ball rolling around the world, has gone gold and will hit store shelves on September 22nd for the price of $49.99.

While Katamari games do have a loyal following and Katamari Forever promises a great deal of content, we find it hard to see a lot of people jumping at the $49.99 price point.

So will you be picking it up or wait until a price drop?

    I’ve never played a Katamari game, so I was looking forward to this…until I saw the price. I guess I’ll wait until it drops in price. =\

    price drop.
    the demo was fun, but the robot king of the kosmos sounds very annoying (weird robo noise, even too weird for Katamari). Maybe someday, but not for a good 6 months and $20-30 cheaper.

    I’ll be picking it up. I’ve been a Katamari fan since the first game’s release here.

    Not to be a Capitalizaion Nazi of any sort, but in the starting sentence “Namco Bandai has just announced that katamari Forever,” The K is lower case.
    Not trying to sound like a crazy know-it-all, just thought you may like to know.

    BUT on another note, I’ve never played any Katamari…I think I have a demo of it somewhere though.

    I don’t see any reason to wait for a price drop on this game. There’s plenty of replay value. I mean it’s not like the market is saturated with quirky titles that revolve around fun.

    I’m so glad they brought back the sumo. It’s so funny to have him roll around and eat until he’s fat enough to become a cannibal and eat human flesh. :P

    The game is going to be the best in series it looks like and it’s definitely a series worth playing. I’d HATE to see this game not do well.

    this sounds a lot like Noby Noby Boy which I tried for about 2 times, about 15 minutes each time, and haven’t touched since. I probably won’t be trying this one, especially for $50.

    Very much not Noby Noby Boy, which the kids think is super funny and actually play. Check out this video for some actual skillful playing, the normal time for what he has is like 12 minutes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1uw_6tIs44
    Yeah, I’m buying at full price, the Prince has to do good, or we won’t see anymore.

    I’ll probably wait for price drops first. :P

    All this fuss over playing with balls.

    I think I will get it. I loved the first two and was sad when the last one went to 360.
