EA Slashing Current-Gen Pricetags

kukyfrope writes "In order to help push current-gen sales, EA is slashing prices on some of its upcoming titles. For instance, two of EA's most anticipated titles, The Godfather (March 14) and Black (February 28), will retail for $39.95." From the article: "It'll be interesting to see how the market reacts to these price cuts. We would guess that several other publishers could soon follow EA's lead and drop the prices on their upcoming current-gen software also. It could be just the strategy the industry needs to boost overall sales. $39.95 looks like a bargain when it's sitting on the shelf next to a next-generation game priced at $59.95."

delivering information via physical media and then excessively overpricing a product that consists of irrelevant media and unnecessary packaging is just so obsolete it's kind of pathetic, if you really think about it

personally , i think it's quite sad that these exploiters are so well paid for doing so much evil
