Let us not forget that a $60 US PS3 game costs £40 in UK, yet a $40 VIta game in US costs £40 in UK also. No 32GB cards for Europe either.
If you live in SCEE territories please ignore it and let this thing bomb, you are doing yourself a massive favour.

Can you point me to that $40 vita game costing £40? Pretty sure no vita games cost £40, Golden Abyss is $50 in the USA and £35 in UK.
But yeah, I didn't expect the UK PSN prices to cut retail - it's just not how it works here. In the USA I gather a $60 game costs $60 and stays that price for ages. The UK that doesn't happen - the real test is whether the PSN games stay these prices for long or quickly come down alongside the retail price cuts.
It should be noted a number of the games you listed are cheaper then their RRP.
UK seems to get games cheaper then everywhere (After they slash the price in half) imo so I've no idea how you're spinning this the opposite.

A really real test that has really been real for years and proven the opposite, really. Just check Microsoft's GOD for reference.

The PSN store is starting to do it though... I think Dante's Inferno and Dead Space 2 were £16 with all their DLC bundled (£12 for Plus members). Darksiders is like £9.99 when it came to the store? The PS2 HD collections are typically cheaper then retail and the price in general is going more reasonable. Yeah retail is still cheaper currently, but I get the feeling we'll see Vita games start to really undercut it in the long run (Especially PS+ members :D). Might take a year or so though.
Industry mentality is always to charge the highest amount if you're unsure what to charge - as you can always cut the price later. It's a far better outcome then charging less then your product is worth.
