Nine Xbox 360 Games Get $20 Price Drop:
Why pay $60 when you can pay $40?
Last week, nine Xbox 360 games recieved significant price drops: all dropped from the next-gen premium price of $59.99 to a much friendlier $39.99.
The full list:
Amped 3
Burnout Revenge
King Kong
Madden NFL 06
NBA 2K6
NBA Live 06
NHL 2K6
The Outfit
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 06
Why the sudden price drop? For EA, the reason is likely because the company took a hit on its Xbox 360 launch lineup (blame the hardware shortages). Now that work is well underway for Madden '07 and the inevitable sequel to Burnout Revenge, there's a big incentive to sell through as many existing units as fast as possible before the new games entries hit.
In the case of Amped 3, King Kong, and The Outfit, another reason is likely to blame -- mediocre sales. Still, all the titles on this list are sure to see a big sales spike after such a big price drop.
