Tales of Hearts costs as much as a console game

The MSRP for Tales of Hearts in Japan is 6,650 yen or $62 American dollars. Each version costs around $62. Granted PlayStation 3 games can go for an upwards of 8,000 yen in Japan, but that doesn’t ameliorate the damage done to the wallet. Good thing prices for games in Japan often fluctuate from the MSRP even on the first day of sales. Amazon plans to sell Tales of Hearts Anime Movie Edition and Tales of Hearts CG Movie Edition for 5,370 yen ($50) when it comes out on December 11.

Namco Bandai has yet to confirm if the registered Tales of Hearts trademark will be used for a North American release.
