This is really happening: Press Your Luck hits PSN today photo

I'm not entirely sure what's up with this trend of translating game shows into videogames, but admittedly, it's kind of fantastic. Speaking of which, Press Your Luck is hitting the PlayStation Network today by way of Ludia Inc. Why the eff not?

Unfortunately for PlayStation.Blog commenter koma1tose, who says "good game at 3.99 anymore than that and its krap," Press Your Luck is a $9.99 download. Sorry, dude! You are getting 2,500 trivia questions for your money, though.

Anyway, this is as good of an opportunity as any to link back to that weirdly interesting Esquire piece about the guy who achieved a perfect bid in The Price is Right -- don't worry, there's a bit about Press Your Luck in there too, so it's relevant. Sort of.

Coming Tuesday to PSN: Press Your Luck for PS3 [PlayStation.Blog]

My favorite game show growing up. But 10 dollars is too much.

NO WAMMIES STOP!

Jesus, $10? No thanks. 2500's a lot but...man.

The story of the king of Press Your Luck, Michael Larson, is really interesting, and you can watch a (lenghty) documentary about it on the ol' YouTubes:

Ah, you guys beat me to it! Oh well.

Quick question though: is this coming out on XBLA or is this a PSN exclusive?

Fremantle Media needs to stop existing. You can find better freeware game show games out there, such as press your luck, that have more depth than what Ludia shat out last year. Though I will say the whammy animations are quite nice.
