Wonderbook's pricing has been revealed ahead of a hands-on event at HMV on Oxford Street this weekend.

The Wonderbook will be on display at HMV Oxford Street from Saturday, August 25 to Monday, August 27. Pre-ordering the Wonderbook over this three-day period will save customers £3 on the Solus package and £5 on the Move bundle.

It will be displayed on the stage area at the back of the ground floor. A dedicated team will be on hand to demonstrate the product and answer questions during the hands-on period.

Announced at the Sony Press Conference at the E3 Expo in June, Wonderbook is a new augmented reality "edutainment" book, which works with the PS3, PlayStation Eye camera and the PlayStation Move motion controller.

Predominantly aimed at children aged 5 to 12, it will launch later in the year with Book of Spells, a new story created by Rowling and set in the Harry Potter universe.

At last week's gamescom Expo in Germany, Sony announced that BBC's Walking with Dinosaurs will release for Wonderbook, alongside a noir-style detective story called Diggs Nightcrawler.

Diggs Nightcrawler sees players investigate crimes, such as the murder of Humpty Dumpty.
