Xbox 360: Game prices are dropping…some of them, at least

Maybe we’re still so used to the old $39.99 price tags for games now that we don’t notice more and more Xbox 360 games, which mostly come with a MSRP of $59.99, are released for quite a few bucks less. Companies like EA are following the trend, cutting some of the prices on their older titles.

GameSpot observes that besides the obvious Table Tennis, turning to shelves for $39.99, there’s also Koei‘s Dynasty Warriors 5 coming for the same price. EA’s titles Madden NFL 06, NBA Live 06, FIFA Soccer 06: Road to FIFA World Cup, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 06 and Burnout Revenge have been dropped to $39.99 as well. THQ is selling the rather new The Outfit for the same price, so is Ubisoft with King Kong: The Official Game.

All these price cuts mostly apply to the publisher’s own online stores for now, although some retail sites seem to mirror the prices. Just don’t expect every GameStop to go along with the new prices. But that could change fast, should more publishers adapt this policy of making next-gen games more friendly for your purse.
