[quote name='rebthor'][quote name='msdmoney']I probably won't get any $50 games for this deal. Games drop so fast that most of the $50 games will be down to $30 or less by the new year, just depends on how badly you want the game I guess.[/quote]
In general I agree, but when you look at first/second party Nintedo releases, especially for Mario, Metroid or Zelda, it is really hard to find a price drop within the first year, if not longer. For example, I don't think that I have ever seen Super Mario Sunshine lower than $29.
That means that buying something like Paper Mario during this week a great deal. The only question is what other games will hold their MSRP value for a long time so you feel like you got a good deal. I am leaning towards Phantom Brave, but I don't know what the 3rd title should be. I'd love to grab Burnout 3, but knowing how EA heavily discounts titles whenever a sequel nears, I'd almost rather wait.
Too bad that MP:Echoes and Mario Tennis will be releaed too late to get a deal on them...[/quote]
Yeah you should always go for the games that will hold a high MSRP for a long time in these sales, like Nintendo first party titles, otherwise that 49.99 title will drop to $29.99 right after you buy it.
