Since MyGaming last analysed the PSN South African store<\/a>, comparing PS4 digital download prices to a physical retail copies, the prices have come down on third-party titles.<\/p>\n

This is due to a kerfuffle over the EU PSN store pricing (South Africa falls under this region for price guidelines). European gamers were concerned that third-party PS4 games via PSN were more expensive than the title on Xbox Live. The various publishers involved have since reduced their PSN prices to bring parity.<\/p>\n

South African PSN store titles have also been reduced in price, but not by much. The table below highlights the old and new pricing, with reductions bolded<\/strong>, and compared to SA retail prices.<\/p>\n
