So, it appears this CD Universe thing is pretty good

[punqsux]

this may be universial

[Eggplant_Wizard]

I haven't seen it anywhere else for $19.99 yet, but that'd be nice.

[MasterLin1]

I thought the entire 2k5 line of ESPN games are only $19.99 to compete with EA games? Or was it supposed to be only with NFL 2k5?

[ElwoodCuse]

There was a press release that seemed to indicate that ALL of the games, at least for this year anyway, are going to be $20.

[suprsaiyanMAX]

Well both the links say product no found, so I'm not holding my breath on the $20 for all of them plan jsut yet.

[Eggplant_Wizard]

They did work. They're still on the site, though.

[lurknomore]

yes, it's selling for 19.99 everywhere...and again all Sega Sports/ESPN sports titles....no fear.

[Eggplant_Wizard]

I don't see it for $19.99 anywhere else. Post here if anyone sees it this cheap anywhere else.

[Cereal]

i do see it over at gamestop for 50 bucks, so this might either be a mistake or a really good deal.

[darkmere]

i hope it's only 20 bucks this year...its lookin like its gonna be a good year...2k4 was pretty good, but has a bad injury bug flaw in franchise mode...

[Eggplant_Wizard]

A ton of bugs have been squashed. Keep an eye on http://www.espnhockey.net for all the info you need, including people from Kush posting on the forums.

[darkmere]

yeah...i made several posts when they were taking suggestions for next year's game...i just hope they listened to the ones like that...you never know...i saw some stupid ones too...people saying they wanted a game where you could play as one player for a career and sit on the bench when it's not your shift and watch the game...what happens if you wanna be a goalie? or if you get a major injury? anyway...point is there were good ideas and lots of lame ideas...i hope they got it right, which from the previews it looks like they did

You can always cancel if this is the universal price.

[Eggplant_Wizard]

That's exactly my plan. :)

Looking at their site, all the ESPN 2K5 games are up for preorder at $19.99:

College Hoops
MLB
NBA
NHL
NFL (of course)

[ukhoops]

eb and gamestop still show them at 49.99 at the moment.

If they are all $20 im getting them.

[6669]

Those links aren't working now.

[OutlawJT]

Sega announced that ESPN NFL 2K5 will have an msrp of $19.99. At no point did they mention a lower price for any of their other sports titles. They lowered the price on NFL to try and compete more with Madden. Their other sports titles haven't suffered from the same trouble because none of the other sports had an entrenched title like Madden eating up 2/3rds of the market. For the moment, all of the ESPN sports titles other than NFL will have the full msrp of $49.99. It is my opinion that CD Universe probably misunderstood Sega's announcement about NFL 2k5, thinking it applied to all their titles when in reality it only applied to the NFL. That is more than likely the case. If not, than it is just a really good deal.

[ZForce915]

See Thursday June 10th 2004 - Front Page. This discussion has been done.

[JohnnyDrama]

Hopefully NHL 2K5 is $20, I'll definitely get it at that price.

Thats for NFL not NHL 2k5...

Anyhoo, I fixed the links in the OP.
I'm all over this at $20, hopefully it is indeed universal.

I emailed the PR person at Take-Two, but have not heard back yet.

[Ericnmel99]

I hope all the 2k5 series are $19.99...kudos to sega for trying to take on ea sports full force this year.

[EddieBelfour]

i preordered it from gamestop last week when i got spiderman. total price will be 14.99 plus tax after my five dollars down. at least thats what dude told me. if i find out otherwise im bringing my water bottle and going eagle on him. = /

[Eggplant_Wizard]

My thread lives! :)

[suprsaiyanMAX]

I hope they are all $20 too, but the fact that Take-Two or Sega has yet to say anything official about it all leaves me with some doubts. You'd think if they wanted to really outsell EA in all sports they'd play it up a bit more.

I think they might be waiting to see how NFL 2k5 sells. I think this is another reason why they pushed the release date up, so they have more time to see if its worth it to sell the other games at such a steep discounted price. I bet if NFL 2k5 sells well all the other games will follow in price.

[Eggplant_Wizard]

Supposedly ESPN NHL 2K5 is showing up as $29.99 at EB in Canada, so maybe it'll change soon in the US.

[Nephets]

Yes, for the final time, every 2K5 sports game is 19.99.

Check out http://espnvideogames.com for particular information on the pricings, because I know for a fact they are all going to be 19.99.

[SEGA128DC]

Who's the cover athlete for ESPN NFL 2K5?...

[Nephets]

Terrell Owens.

[SEGA128DC]

Terrell Owens...that loose cannon!...

[Lord Hamm]

:roll: I got NHL 2k4 just a week ago for 5 dollars....

[yeldarb367]

Me too ^^^^

These new prices will be great. I'll definetely pick up NFL and NHL 2k5.

[Ravaged]

20$ is officially universal. KTHX.

[Dok Diamond]

cant wait for the this

[Eggplant_Wizard]

It's never been said that the official price of ESPN NHL 2K5 will be $19.99, but I'll be happy when Gamestop.com shows it. They usually offer free overnight shipping and stuff.

[Minger]

grrrr...Bestbuy still doesnt have this listed on their site.

I wanna go there and use the $5 GGC when it comes out, they better have it there...

[SEGA128DC]

I hope Best Buy has ESPN NFL 2K5, when it's released. So, I can use the GGC...:D

[Maynard]

All games released from Sega sports this year will be $19.99 largely due to the fact that Take-two is now publishing the games in america which is costing them close to nothing so in the end we end up winning. So all the games apparently are going to be 19.99 i read it on gamespot.com i can't find the article i'll continue looking for it though


mn

[bomberman447]

I have seen the price of $29.99cdn or $19.99 for all the ESPN games on a canadian site.
