ESPN Sports Titles to Scrap $20 Price Point

Posted by Zonk on from the TINSTAAFL dept.

SansTinfoilHat writes "Gamesindustry.biz reports that 'Take-Two and partner Sega will seek to return pricing to premium levels for the next-generation console versions of [the ESPN series of sports games].' It couldn't last forever." From the article: "Most notably, [the low pricing] has put immense pressure on Electronic Arts' market-leading sports range, with the giant publisher forced to drop prices on several of its key EA Sports titles in order to compete more effectively in the run up to Christmas."

    No one can compete with EA, because they spend all day sodomizing their employees with hat racks, and refuse to compensate them with anything more than gift certificates for mashed potatos from El Pollo Loco.
