Sony Leaves PlayStation Fans In Splits With Bizarre Tekken 2 Error

Ever bought a video game for $9,999? That’s apparently the price tag on one of the most popular PlayStation classics at the moment!

According to a Twitter user, Sony listed Tekken 2’s individual cost to be no less than $9,999 in the PlayStation US Store. As expected, this glitch on Sony’s part has attracted a lot of attention from the fan base.

Tekken is one of the most popular fighting-game franchises, a few titles of which were once available on the PS1 console. Tekken 2 is the second title in the franchise which was available as an arcade game during its initial release and ported to PS1 in its second year. In fact, Tekken 2 is also a part of the all-new PS Plus Premium tier, which comes with a catalog of PlayStation classics.

With the revamped PS Plus released in the US yesterday, Sony introduced fans to three new tiers: Essential, Extra, and Premium. While the ‘Essential’ tier mimics the old PS Plus subscription model and features the same price, the ‘Extra’ and the ‘Premium’ tiers come with a lot of exciting benefits.

You can also choose to buy classic games individually without having to subscribe to the PS Plus Premium Tier. But only a few classic games are available for individual sale as of now.

Tekken 2 selling on the PlayStation Store for almost $10,000 is a glitch

As Mr. Ascension (@TheKBGamer) pointed out on Twitter, Tekken 2 was featuring a massive price tag of $9,999 yesterday. Unexpectedly, the tweet blew up as Sony managed to amuse thousands of fans across the world.

In addition to the massive fan reaction, Tekken director Katsuhiro Harada also joined the discussion regarding Sony’s hilarious mistake. He, in fact, praised Sony for quoting a ‘marvellous price’ for Tekken 2.

As of now, Sony has fixed the glitch. However, Tekken 2 is not listed for individual purchases yet. Fans can only access the game via the PS Plus Premium tier.

There may be two reasons behind this glitch on Sony’s part. It is possible that Sony may have made a general typo. On the other hand, it could also point to Sony’s unwillingness to sell Tekken 2 individually.
