LocoRoco 2 Priced at $20

Heads up, LocoRoco fans. We already heard prior to the holiday break that LocoRoco 2 was set to ship on February 10, but today the PlayStation.Blog has issued one additional, particularly delectable detail about the game's release: it'll only cost $20.

Naturally, they framed the announcement around the idea of giving consumers a break in this sagging economy: "In a time where it can be tough to spend money on games, we're definitely excited to bring PSP players the world of LocoRoco for this super-low price," wrote SCEA Santa Monica producer Tsubasa Inaba. Sure, you could also argue the low price is in Sony's own interest to get as many people to actually buy the thing as possible, but whatever -- we'll take a deal anywhere we can get it, these days.

Inaba also announced in the post that anyone who pre-orders the game through Amazon, GameStop, or GameCrazy (or other, unspecified participating retailers) will get a voucher to download a demo of the game through the PlayStation Network "weeks before the game releases." That's as specific as the post gets, but if you were planning on buying the game anyway, may as well give in to those annoying sales clerk pleas and get your pre-order in soon.
