I am a little confused about the prices of Siren: Blood Curse on the PSN.

The PSN States that the full game is £19.99, then it says you must download 
all 12 episodes to play the game - each episode is listed as costing £6.99 
each.

If I pay the £20 for the full game does that mean I can then download all 
episodes for free?  Then the seperate £6.99 prices are for those who want to 
buy it in chunks?

I know Sony can be quite greedy at times but I cannot see them asking £20 
for the game pack PLUS £6.99 for each chapter as that would work out to a 
whopping £104  :-(

Got a bit confused by the episodes/chapters thing.  I think there are 4 
chapters each containing 3 episodes.  So that would cost £48, but even so my 
question still stands about the differences between the full game download 
and the seperate episodes.  They do not make it clear.

They said the episodes would be £4.99, the robbing bastards!

There are four chunks, or you can buy the whole thing at once.

I just called Sony support and they said I have to buy everything - the £20 
pack plus the episodes.  I think they are wrong.  If this is the case then 
it is false advertising as they advertise the full game for £20.
Have emailed threespeech blog about this, I am sure they are better placed 
to confirm the prices.

might be cheaper to buy a US pre-pay card from ebay and buy it from
the US store?

it does look like a good game but I'm not spending more than a full
price game on it, unless each episode is a very decent length, or I'm
drunk.

They are wrong.

It's the full game for £19.99 or 4x£6.99.

According to EG and everyone on the forum there who has downloaded it 
the £20 pack is all 12 chapters.

Thanks.  Sony support need a kick up the arse, they could be losing sales.
