'South Park: The Stick of Truth' No Longer $5 on PSN, Sony Cites Pricing Error
Currently $19.99 on PSN.
And it's gone... Yesterday, we ran a story about 'South Park: The Stick of Truth' being on sale for only $4.99 on PSN, which it was. The price had all the makings of being legitimate, as evidenced by a Tweet from the developer, which is just one many indications that the $5 price was known.
This author purchased the game at that price, and even downloaded it. Unfortunately, the price is now at $19.99, and Sony has stated that an "error" was the root cause of the temporary low price.
Update: Due to an error, South Park: The Stick of Truth was listed on the US PS Store at an incorrect price. We apologize for the error.

The same message was posted on the PlayStation Blog, where the $4.99 had been a day earlier.
It's unclear what effect this pricing error will have going forward. The game was available at the low price for well over a day.
