Aussie PlayStation Store opens early

PS3 News | Reveals prices.

The Australian PlayStation Store has already swung its doors open in preparation for Friday's launch, revealing what content will be available from day one, and how much it will all cost.

Already, it's a well-populated list, with (at the very least) 29 demos, trailers, and video downloads set to be available from the beginning of the PS3's life Down Under. Included in that lot are free demos for MotorStorm, Ridge Racer 7, Gran Turismo HD, and Genji: Days of the Blade, alongside downloadable titles such as Tekken 5 Dark Resurrection (for AU$16.95), Lemmings (AU$8.45), Blast Factor (AU$8.45), and GripShift (AU$13.37 [Leet? - Ed]).

Which all seems rather fairly priced - certainly, those prices are comparable with the cost of equivalent content on the Virtual Console and Xbox Live Arcade. Here's the list in full:
