Sony's $49.99 first party PS2 games

[aaronprather]

I've noticed recently that Sony is selling two of their first party games (GT4, God of War) for $49.99. Normally Sony's first party games have sold for $39.99, since Sony donsn't pay any royalty fees to themselves.

What do you think is going on? My feeling is that the abundant production costs of these titles are being passed along to the consumer.

They're charging $50 for them because people will pay $50 for them. Gran Turismo 3 was the best-selling PS2 game not called "Grand Theft Auto".

I noticed this awhile ago....when i paid 50$ for socom 2.

I dont mind em selling certain games for 50$ as long as they keep the smaller titles for cheaper...since i generally rather play a new Sly Cooper then a GT4

They could come out at 90... but I'd still be a CAG about it and get em at GC 3 for 60

I think they decided to sell some of their big games, along with some of their online games, for $50.
