Sony Charging a Fortune For One of The Worst PS3 Games
One of the PlayStation 3′s original flagship titles, Lair, suffered greatly from horrendous SixAxis motion controls and left most gamers underwhelmed, due in large part to the immense hype Sony put on the title. Even though the title released almost three years ago, Sony has put a hefty price tag on a new copy of the game; leaving many confused as to why.
A quick peek at Sony’s official USA ‘parts and accessories store’ will reveal the price point for a new copy of Lair to be $79.99. That’s right, an almost three year old game costs more than a standard new game costs nowadays. Someone at Sony must have a wicked sense of humor, and this goes without saying, obviously this is an error. However, due to the hilarity of the situation, we thought it would be best to alert you, before the rogue employee fixes his mistake.
We suggest you avoid this exclusive Sony deal and go to your nearest GameStop, and pick up a used version of the game for $15.

This game should be exslusive to Microsoft, so there for design to play shitbox.
That is pretty damn funny. Would be even more funny if anyone actually paid that amount for it. LOL
Sometimes these things are priced by the limited amount of the games in inventory and or to keep you from buying a new copy by pricing it at a so ridiculously high price they make sure you don’t buy it…
Has anyone played it with the new controls?
i wonder why it hasnt gone down in price like the greatest hits. not because it may be a “greatest hit” but just because it is quite old. ive always wanted to try this game just to see what all the negativity was really about.
hello …
tried the demo (was hyped about it) & never bought it, i even deleted the demo quite soon after, yeah was that bad …
If they would patch it & release it for the MOVE would be LOL-able
…but who knows.
The game itself is of nice concept, i really wished they would have put some effort into it, the PS3 was young & there were less owners than the concurrence, still it was said to be good on the PS3 & ended to be a big lie.
I certainly hope someday they would release a rebooted version of the game & put all the necessary time & money to make it one of the best dragon flying games around, put a demo & let us be amazed.
The two games i really enjoyed the sixaxis implementation were Heavenly sword & Heavy rain, too bad others didn’t follow same …. now let the MOVE talk
79US$ is too high & obviously a mistake, unless if SONY already patched it & re-releasing it with the MOVE LOL …
cheers!
I was just about to say, a move patch would be awesome for this game.. I always wanted to play it but everyone said it was aweful.
I bought it for $10 or something from gamestop ($9 after edge discount) and it was still bad enough for me to trade it in shortly after. I wouldn’t say the controls weren’t horrible after the update but the game just wasn’t fun. The game seemed to rely too heavily on the ‘dragons are cool’ factor too much. It works at the beginning but gets old fast.
Like so many movie franchises, this game could probably do well with a reboot from an experienced development team.
Best Idea EVAR: “Heavenly Lair” with MOVE and 3D from Naughty Dog(or Santa Monica). Cool Nariko ground combat with the MOVE and awesome flights in 3D on dragons.
I played it with the new controls and rrally liked it. Looked freakin sweet too. The graphics are really good. Story was like Avatar’s but I still liked it.
I rather enjoyed Lair after the control patch. I really don’t understand the hate for this game at this point in time.
I enjoyed it as well. It was the very first game I had for my PS3. I played through it to the end using the original SIXAXIS controls. I really didn’t find them that bad. I think the worst part of the game was trying to find your objects. Dragon RAGE saved me more than once.
Never suggest buying gamestop used games. That crap decreases the sales number for PS3 exclusives and hurts developers’ want to produce exclusive PS3 games. And only strengths Gamespots monopoly on dick us games. But buy used Xbox games is totally coo.
you can get this game new on Amazon for $17.23
Does it have trophies?
No trophies Xael.
