Come on Mr. Tor Thorsen , how about a CAG mention as a news source?
I'm pretty sure they got the NFL 2k5 price drop from here too.
Maybe I'm just being paranoid.

You give the gaming media waaaaaaay too much credit if you think they would actually give another source credit for anything.[/quote]
It's standard to only credit sources that have exclusive content. For something like EBgames prices that any Joe Schmoe can check themselves, you're giving CAG way too much credit if you think you're the first ones to see this.
We put up a story as well:

If Tor or any writer learns of a breaking gaming news story from CAG (or any source), I feel they should give credit. Yes, any Joe Schmoe can discover a story. In this case, his name is Togepy, not Tor. Unless Togepy and Tor are the same person.
Topegy, is your real name Tor Thorsen?[/quote]
Yes, I suppose. There's a difference between what should be done and what reality is though. It's really tough to credit something as simple as a price check
Plus, you have no idea the GS guy found out the price from CAG. I found the price drop by browsing through EBgames compiling a list of 2004 releases I'm anticipating. Again, we go back to the issue of open sources. There's not much point in crediting someone with a "discovery" when it's out there for everyone to see.
