Title: Next Generation Games might cost $59.99
Post by: Thirteen on June 03, 2005, 05:24:14 PM: While it has long been rumored that next-gen console games will cost at least $60, this week came reports of hard evidence of the premium price point. Joystiq tipster Saurabh Agarwal reported that he "was just at my local EB Games store here in Pittsburgh, PA," said Agarwal. "The guy at the counter showed me this printout he just got with all the release titles, dates, and prices for the games for the XBOX360!!!...The majority of the games are slated for release on 11/02/2005... Games were priced at $59.99." Had this information been secret, it would have been quite the scoop. However, EBgames.com is openly listing all 360 launch titles--including Project Gotham Racing 3, Call of Duty 2, and Tony Hawk's American Wasteland--with the same price point and date. That said, EB Games' products each have the following disclaimer: "The ship date and retail price have not been confirmed and therefore are subject to change. If the retail price is decreased you will receive the lower price." So while the date and price are likely, nothing is official--yet.

i think this is what nintendo was talkin about at E3. smoke, i think ur right on point with the 3rd party comment....it costs them more to make games for such a powerful machine that they have to increase the prices....and those games will be coming around less often because they take longer to make....
