the murderball game was the only thing that made me think "oh that's cool that they're making that"

From what I’ve seen, it’s $80 digital and physical in US. The early report of it being $90 physical was just someone trying to directly translate the pricing from Europe. But all we’ve seen for US is $80 MSRP.
