EA Cuts Current-Gen Prices

Gamespot is reporting that Electronic Arts is cutting the prices of their PS2, Xbox, and Gamecube titles, now that next-gen consoles are beginning to hit the scene. Their 360, DS, and PSP titles are unaffected. From the article: "The prices of several of the company's current-generation games have been reduced in an attempt to get the most out its current crop of titles. Madden NFL 06, NBA Live 06, FIFA 06, and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire all seem to have benefited from the price drop, as their Xbox, PlayStation 2, GameCube, and PC versions are all now available for $29.99. Other games affected by the price slashing include Need for Speed Most Wanted (now $39.99) and Medal of Honor: European Assault (now $19.99)."

so basically you get even more "value" for your buck if you stick to the current-gen systems?

Given that the 360 versions of all EA's sports games were in fact products with less features.
Fifa 06 on the XBox360 has less gameplay options than the same game on the Xbox1? How can this be?
Same goes for NBA 06 btw.
i don't want shiny, sweaty basketball players, I want gameplay that matches my set.

They should slash the prices of their next-gen crappy ware.
