DC Universe Online is slated to be released on the PC as well as the PS3. However, it’s more significant for the latter, since it’ll be the very first MMORPG on the PS3.
The wait is finally over. DC Universe Online has gone gold, which means it’s ready for replication and shipped to store shelves. The release date has been confirmed for January 11, 2011 for US and Europe, and January 14 for Australia. DC Universe Online is basically City of Heroes with official DC roster, where you get to don your cape as either a hero or a villain in a persistent online world.
DC universe Online will retail for $49.99 (Rs. 2,250 approx.) and the PS3 version will cost $59.99 (Rs. 2,700 approx.). The retail versions on both platforms feature 30-day “free” subscription, which if you ask me, is quite a shameless term to use after charging 60 whole bucks. Thereafter, the MMO will adopt a monthly subscription fee of $15 (Rs. 675 approx.). PC gamers are given an option of a long term commitment by paying $199 (Rs. 9,000 approx.) for a lifetime subscription. PS3 users get no such option.
