Ah, the wonderful world of pricing errors. It’s a proud tradition that Sony is keeping alive.
On Tuesday, Sony began rolling out the new PlayStation Plus subscription model. Many classics from the PS1 and PS2 eras are already up, including Tekken 2, which briefly was on sale for $9999. Look, it’s probably a great game, but I doubt it’s mortgage-down-payment-worthy. At least get a physical copy if you’re shelling out that much cash, for goodness sake!
Of course, the listing was an accident. Twitter is brimming with people having a laugh over the pricing error, including Tekken director and general manager Katsuhiro Harada. Who believes it’s an excellent price!

We love a snarky king. In fairness, I had a share in the profits; that price would be fine with me too.

Part of me is curious if any hardcore Tekken fans shelled out the cash just as a flex. Probably not, since that would be absolutely absurd.
Thankfully, Tekken 2 is part of the new PS Plus Premium Membership, which only costs $119.99 annually. So there’s no need to break the bank over 20-year-old PS1 games.
