Kameo, PGR3, & Perfect Dark: Zero confirmed $49.99 at EB & GameStop

[quote name='Ikohn4ever']I thought it was supposed to be 49.99, I guess I am missing the point of this post[/QUOTE]

uh.. yeah, you are, because they were all $59.99.
 
[quote name='skinsfan56la']Now i i have to get the collectors edition of perfect dark. Damn!![/QUOTE]

but before this that CE was $69.99 :D
 
I don't know if this means much with EB changing the price. I remember when I reserved my DS with EB and they had prices of all the games as $39.99. These prices remained in their system almost up to a couple of weeks before the DS released and then they went down to their $29.99 real price.

EBGames may just be using the $49.99 price tag as a price holder until MS confirms this price. I mean, its very possible that MS published games will cost $49.99, and if so, that's very cool. But, if MS is gonna charge $50 for a wireless controller, I'm guessing their game prices are gonna be a little higher. There's a little something wrong going to buy an extra first party made controller and have it cost as much as a game.

You realize that you're doubting the exact thing EB has done before, according to your story. The price was high ($59.99) much like the DS's $39.99 games.. then they were lowered to $49.99 (to the DS's $29.99).

The controller is so much because it's wireless and it's Microsoft. Any other third party wireless would be $40.. but because the Microsoft logo's on it, extra $10.
 
Am I the only one that didn't believe that next gen games would be like $100? I mean is this really a "deal"?
 
Wow, would never thought I'd see the day people were happy to learn that they could buy games at only 49.99...haha.

Considering I have been spending $50 on games for 15 years. Also considering I spend $17 to go to the theater for a 100 min flick, $50 for a game that I will spend 20-60 hrs on is not a bad deal. After you are sick of the game you can Ebay it for $15 - $35. Then a few years after "launch" you will be able to find many $10 - $20 great games.
 
[quote name='WolfPac_Ite']What does the Limited Edition include? Besides the game of course.[/QUOTE]

Joanna Dark style glasses so you can read the list that says "Limited Edition includes:" at the bottom of the EB listing
 
[quote name='Pylis']Way to go, Microsoft! I knew I could count on you![/QUOTE]

Alright, now you're just being ridiculous. You can't count on Microsoft for anything. Haven't you learned that yet? :D
 
Unfortunately, I won't be able to get an Xbox until the third launch in my EB Stores and Gamestop stores so I had to plop down $700 bux on this bad boy. I was interested in getting all those games anyway so I am happy I will atleast get it on launch day.
 
OK, so they were $60 originally. Big deal. I mean no disrespect to the OP or to anyone else, but I guess I am not too excited about $50 launch titles. $10 is $10 I guess though.

Well, considering that until a week ago, all signs were pointing to all 360 games being $60, this is a (semi) big deal.

When Microsoft officially announces it, then I'll be excited. Until then, the numbers Gamestop and EB Games are posting could just be place holders.
 
I hope the industry sticks with the $50 price point...

Maybe it'll revert back to how it's like now... first party games from Sony and Nintendo (on DS at least) are typically $10 cheaper then 3rd party.
 
[quote name='dschroll']When Microsoft officially announces it, then I'll be excited. Until then, the numbers Gamestop and EB Games are posting could just be place holders.[/QUOTE] Doubtful, since they were all priced at $60 yesterday.
 
Isn't Microsoft making their games $49.99 like kicking third party companies in the balls?
Now the price of a Xbox 360 game at launch has become a factor with MS games looking better.

I haven't spent more than 5 hours on a game since final fantasy X. Might as well just rent them or buy them ultra cheap...like star wars battlefront for 2.50. Star wars battlefront was definetly worth 2.50, hell I would've paid upto and including 4 dollars for that game!
 
[quote name='Scorch']Well yes, that article was actually posted here nearly a week before it showed up on Joystiq, i'm just posting that they've actually dropped.[/QUOTE]


but I would think u would be on top of this as not being a deal but more part of the 360 board. The actual price of a game does not constitute a deal in I think most people's eyes. Its good news that they are at that price, but not a deal just information.
 
[quote name='Scorch']Well yes, that article was actually posted here nearly a week before it showed up on Joystiq, i'm just posting that they've actually dropped.[/QUOTE]Yeah, I definitely acknowledged the week's delay in the body of the article itself, but I just wanted to note that the story was up (not that Joystiq beat CAG to it or anything; after all, CAG was listed as a source for the Modojo info!).
 
I totally didn't even catch that you wrote the article nor that I was credited.. holy crap, i've been joystiq'd!

Whoa, that sounds bad.

I said it from the start, the games would NOT be $59.99. The only game that could possibly sell at that price point is Madden 06, it would be suicide for any game company to price them more. Hell even at $50, games just dobn't seem to sell like they used to.

Glad that sort of hysteria's out the way, now if all the punk ass "elitists" would stop bitching about having a choice of 2 360 packages then everything would be just peachy.

EDIT:

Just noticed that the release date for the launch titles are 11/15/2005, hmm, maybe ebgames knows something we don't. . .

I guess you didn't have a SNES or N64 at around launch time.

This is a deal section of a cheap ass site, paying regular price here for a game is not a deal.

You did explain why I don't go to movies anymore.

I hear you and like I said, $10 is $10. I guess I just disagree with the level importance of this announcement. Especially considering that most of us will likely be waiting for price drops regardless of whether or not they released as $50 or $60 (although I do recognize the need for at least ONE game at launch).

I justify going to the movies. I pay for one (day-time price) and stay for 2 or 3. That way my gf and I see 2 movies for $12.

Doesnt that hurt your ass sitting for so long?
 
Wow, $600 and $700 for the bundles on Eb's site. That's a bit high. I hope that this is not a sign of the what to expect from all of the retailers, otherwise the 360's early adoption rate is going to suck.

WTF?!

One movie here cost $12 for two people if you have a coupon.

I hate people.
 
[quote name='theredworm']Very good news, now all I wanna know is a release date.[/QUOTE]

I believe PDZ releases 11/15

Perfect Dark Zero Limited Collector's Edition for Xbox 360. The special release includes a comic booklet, a holographic glyph card, and a second disc containing bonus content. ~IGN
 
There is no release date whatsoever for PDZ. We assume November, but tha is not even confirmed.

And the CE is $60. That is what i have preordered.
