Sony Online Entertainment just confirmed during their live E3 stream that Station Access will soon be dropping to $19.99 per month from the current price of $29.99 per month. That means you can get access to all of SOE's games for a little more than the price of one game subscription!

We expect SOE to release more details on the price cut in the near future. Will you be taking advantage of this lower Station Access price once it's implemented?

Are you interested in raiding in Star Wars: The Old Republic? BioWare is calling them Operations, and they just posted a video that showcases the Eternity Vault, which is a maximum level Operation. Here's the description of the raid:

Sony Online Entertainment unveiled its latest game at E3, and it's a bit different from the fantasy titles that are generally associated with the company. PAYDAY: The Heist is a squad-based first-person shooter that puts players in the roles of career criminals. SOE is acting as publisher for the game, which is developed by Overkill Software.

Teams of four players will get to fight their way through six action-packed heists that dynamically change for every play-through. If you've ever played Left 4 Dead, then you'll understand the basic concept of the game.

PAYDAY: The Heist will be available later this year on the PlayStation Network and PC as a digital download. According to the announcement, it's a "AAA quality title for less than half the price of a retail game." Check out the screenshots in our gallery to see the game in action.

THQ and Vigil Games have released a new Warhammer 40K: Dark Millennium Online teaser trailer! The E3 video has been posted on the game's official site. It's quite short and simply states that the MMO is "coming soon," but we'll take what we can get when it comes to information on this game. Watch it below!

The Warhammer 40K MMO was actually unveiled a year ago at E3 2010. Since that time, news has been sparse. The last announcement we heard was made back in February when THQ stated during a conference call that the game's launch window spans from April 1, 2012 to March 31, 2013. Only time will tell what "coming soon" truly means for Dark Millennium Online.
