Good news, everyone who pre-ordered The Last of Us Remastered on PlayStation Network for $60 will now get a $10 refund within the week because of the price change.
Back in April, The Last of Us Remastered was announced and the price was $60; however in recent weeks, Sony reduced the price to $50 instead. Originally it sounded like Sony was not going to refund the extra $10 to those who pre-ordered it on PSN, but all of that changed over the weekend.
Sony’s Adam Boyes responded to a fan’s question on Twitter, letting him know that everyone would be refunded this week.
My Opinion:
It was fascinating to see hundreds of people on social media sites last week complaining that they can’t get their $10 back. First of all, I think it is ridiculous to complain over something like that. Second of all, why pre-order a game digitally so far in advance? You are guaranteed a copy of the game because they don’t run out of them digitally, so why not wait until the release date is closer? Especially when something like a price change could happen? I am glad that Sony is refunding everyone the extra $10 they spent on the game, but I would not have been upset if they didn’t. Congrats to Sony for playing nice with their fan base when they didn’t have to.

I think digital remasters should be around 50% of normal retail price.
In this case, doubly so due to the recent release of the original.
