The price of PlayStation 4 games have been nothing short of extortionate in the UK since launch, with some titles retailing at up to £64.99 ($110) depending on where you shop. Fortunately, the figures are slowly starting to come down, with both Watch Dogs and Wolfenstein: The New Order commanding much more manageable fees at the time of typing.
Perhaps acknowledging that its roster of launch titles no longer warrant full price, Sony has dropped the cost of Killzone: Shadow Fall and Knack to £34.99. That’s actually an £18 reduction, and puts the digital versions largely in line with retail outlets such as Amazon.co.uk. You can still get these games cheaper if you shop around, but this represents a decent discount if you’re done with physical discs.
Of course, one could speculate that this may foreshadow some form of PlayStation Plus update, with Mark Cerny’s family friendly brawler a prime candidate for the Instant Game Collection.

The launch prices for digital titles was pretty disgraceful in the UK particularly. You can pick up second hand copies of killzone for under £15 quid. Regardless I'm always going to prefer physical.
killzone £15

Digital is still too expensive.

@TOMBOY25 While I agree, I assume those are pre-owned, right?
Is digital data not pre-owned? It's kind of like sony bought a special copy of wolfenstein and if you give them 50 quid, they will copy it to your hard drive.
@get2sammyb yea but honestly most games in CEX are like new.
(at least in the 3 stores near me)
@MoleZandor That's a different way of looking at things!
Sony trying to get as much money from Knack and Killzone this month as they can seeing as one will be on PS+ next month (likely Knack) as the year-long title.
Wow...that is absolutely crazy. I cannot believe they are still charging so much for the digital versions (pre-"sale").
I think @rastamadeus is right. Knack will probably be the year-long freebie. Although it doesn't really excite the overall userbase. Maybe they would do like a single player or multiplayer only version of Killzone along with knack.
I think Knack will be added to the IGC this year
I can only urge everyone only remotely interested in shooters to check out Killzone!
Digital prices were ridiculous at launch it's silly that Sony have taken so long to change the prices.
