According to SOE, the digital release of DC Universe Online will set you back US$ 59.99. The game will be packed with 30-days of free gameplay, with a monthly game play fee of US$ 14.99 thereafter. But that's not all, the team have also included bundled packs that give you more game play for less, a six-month subscription package that will be available for US$ 77.99 and a 12-month subscription selling for US$ 134.99.

Released two months ago, DCUO is a massively-multiplayer online game unlike any other with "unparalleled physics-powered combat" set in the DC Universe.

"We're redefining the genre and blazing a new trail in the gaming industry with the introduction of DC Universe Online," said John Smedley, President, Sony Online Entertainment in the previous press release. "This is the first true action MMO utilizing twitch-based combat and physics to deliver a completely unique and immersive gameplay experience that is reflective of the creativity, action and strength of the DC Universe."

That is very expensive! Even though you are "saving" $45 bucks for the annual online pass, its just too damn expensive. Has anyone bought this game and liking it so far? One thing that really sucks about the game is that if you buy it second hand, it will not allow you to play it at all! Its tied to that PSN Account for life! I don't even think people in the same household can use the disc on another PSN Account. Sucks for the people who bought it and didn't like it and didn't return it within the allowed grace period.

So the fact that I purchased this game off of Steam when it launched, doesn't count as a digital release? It was also $50.00 and still came with the 30 days free.
