Test Drive Unlimited limited to $40
Atari mandates a $39.95 price for the Xbox 360-bound racer, matching the game's price on other platforms.
By Patrick Caldwell, GameSpot
Posted Jul 20, 2006 10:56 am PT

Less than two months before its release, Test Drive Unlimited has received a lower-than-expected price. Instead of the now-standard Xbox 360 price of $60 for third-party games, Atari announced today that the next-gen version of its upcoming street racer will cost gamers $39.95.

The move means the 360 version of Test Drive Unlimited now matches the price of the game on its other platforms--the PC, PlayStation 2, and PlayStation Portable--as listed by online retailers.

While $60 is the standard for a new Xbox 360 game, it's becoming increasingly common to find games going for less. In May, Rockstar released its next-gen debut, Table Tennis, on the 360 for $40, and in March, Koei offered Dynasty Warriors 5 Empires on the system for the same price. In May, many of the 360 games saw price slashings, including Electronic Arts' Burnout Revenge and a host of titles in its flagship sports franchises, Ubisoft's King Kong: The Official Game of the Movie, and THQ's The Outfit.

A demo of the Xbox 360 version of the game has been available on the Xbox Live Marketplace since May. For more information on Test Drive Unlimited, check out GameSpot's previous coverage.

All I remember about the demo was getting my car wedged between a mountain and a building and having to hard reset. This game seemed like the old Midnight Club games I used to play on the PS2.

Honestly, how many demos have been garbage compared to the actual game? It has to be something like 20% accurate demo, and 80% not a true sampling.

This is true, and besides you dont HAVE to buy the game, rent the final copy and try it out. But WHEN you do decide to buy it itll be sitting there on the shelf, in its $39.99 glory for ya!

The handling of the car was horrible and I'm sure they don't release a demo with completely different handling and car control than the actual game;) The graphics weren't to shabby either. Reminded me of Ridge Racer for a little while.

The recent update has glitched basically most of the achievements besides the new ones and in my case the new ones are glitched. This is the only thing stopping me from getting 1000.
