It'll cost ya a pair of fives![/intro] Sony Online Entertainment has today announced they will be releasing a new title on the Playstation Store that should make Poker fans very happy. The game will be called High Stakes on the Vegas Strip: Poker Edition - now that a mouthful. It is currently confirmed for an American release and will be available in the US this summer for $9.99. The game will contain numerous play modes including Super Hold'em, Billabong, Tahoe and Shanghai and the only one I know how to play Texas Hold'em! Each style can be played as limit, pot limit or no limit poker. The game will contain options for online multiplayer, with up to six people playing at once. Players will be able to play quick matches, or choose to play through an entire season. Leaderboards along with some in-depth statistics and customizable characters will also be available. Another nice feature will be the option to be able to connect a camera to the PS3 to 'enhance' the games play experience. "Being among the first Playstation Network publishers to release a game that takes advantage of the EyeToy USB Camera and other PC compatible USB cameras is not only exciting, but also puts the player into a realistic game play setting featuring live audio and video feed," said Michael Lustenberger, VP of Marketing for Sony Online Entertainment. Oh, and they mean this strip not that other one, or that other one, or this one. Or maybe this one or this one.

Or, you know, the only other strip that is actually related to Poker. None of that. :p
