The good news for computer game players is that prices have come down significantly and are likely to stay down throughout the coming holiday season, especially if the U.S. economy continues to struggle. The trend has been obvious for months. A year ago, it was almost impossible to find a game for Xbox, GameCube or PlayStation 2 with a list price under $50. Today, it's much easier to find a game for $40, or less. For example, most of the 21 GameCube titles -- 71 percent -- scheduled for September release will cost $40 or less. About half of the 29 PS-2 games and 28 Xbox games coming out this month will be under $40. GameBoy Advance titles, which have typically sold for $30, are dropping in price as well; 10 of the 26 new titles will be selling for $20.

Esta thread não é bem uma notícia para nós porque cá as coisas funcionam de outra maneira... a Worten e ***** ainda vão tendo umas promoções (games a 20 e 30€ para as 3 consolas) mas em geral é o que se sabe.

Gostei foi do "GameBoy Advance titles, which have typically sold for $30"... cá até há jogos de GBA a 60€ e as novidades nunca custam menos de 50€. Estava tentado a comprar um GBA na época do Natal mas com estes preços não dá... especialmente porque ia tar a pagar 50€ por jogos que já joguei há 10 anos
