ALL Hobbit - $20
ALL Midnight Club 2 - $20
ALL Max Payne 2 - $30
PC Hobbit - $10

Not much but it might appear that Midnight Club 2 has finally joined Greatest Hits and Platinum Hits, so it is possible that we will see these reshipped with new budget packaging.

I was just at TRU in Times Square and they had SSX3 (XBOX) for $19.95. Sweet deal!

Ah yes, thanks. I don't think that's the normal price at EB though, it seems like that price has been tied to the quick price drops they've been doing the last couple days. It'll fluctuate between $14.99 and $29.99 at any point in the day.

But thanks for the tip - Dead To Rights XB was also part of the group of titles with wildly fluctuating prices, and once you said SSX was $14.99 I checked DTR and sure enough it was back down to $9.99. It had been back up to $19.99 earlier today.

Who would have thought the price of games was like the securities markets?!?

Yeah, it is kinda suprising that SSX 3 is basically $20 for all consoles. I guess so many games it is weird when goo d newer games drop in price but MC2 has been out forever.

I bought both SSX3 and MC2 at release and was very very dissapointed with MC2 but SSX 3 was fun

SSX3 is like the best in the entire series, I dont understand how the price has dropped so much so quickly, It's the type of drop you get from a game that sold poorly but there's no reason this one should have....

really weird.

SSX 3 is probably already nearing GH status in terms of units sold. EA generally has a sales threshold, meaning when game sales start to taper off, they'll recommend a price drop to increase sales. Odds are, SSX 3 has sold enough copies to manifest a sales drop-off. Thus, nearing GH status for all consoles, EA probably just gave the green light for price drop to clear inventory before the GH version hits for all consoles.

MC2 is well worth it. IMO one of the best racers ive ever played.

Yeah, Take Two has announced that Midnight Club 3: Dub City Edition is in the works. Forgot the date but I guess announcing the new game finally dropped the old game price. It has the DUB CITY license which should be cool .
