You bastard, don't tease us with the GoW price like that!

Will be interesting to see what happens over here in the UK regarding 360 game pricing considering we're expecting to get Test Drive Unlimited for the usual £50 (US$95)

Yeah... but what does this mean for the U.K / Eur? We already know TDU is full price here when it arrives so is the rest US only?

Hope not, because with the great titles coming out now for 360 (dead rising) or soon (gears of war + loads more) a game price cut would be a nice tempter to those still waiting to see.

Also reduced price older games like Nintys players choice would be welcome also (£19.99 for PGR3 next year for example).

Pimp My Ride? I thought games like this only existed on the PS2!?!?!?!

Did I read that right? Pimp My Ride? But we already have Need for Speed :(

Cars on the 360 will look better than the movie!

This list of is the best list of games since the Jaguar launch list. This list is full of AAA+ titles, if only this list could be complete with Barbie's Adventures in Oceania.

I like cheaper games!

#2 didnt they do that on xbox xbox classics i think but they never release games in that range at a lower price while theyre still selling at full price

DAMN.

are any of those good?

and i saw gears of war and i was like WTF?!

i agree...that wasnt cool man...not cool.

@qbix
3. Did I read that right? Pimp My Ride?

That is exactly what I thought!

Maaan, Cars should be out NOW!!!!

So what you're saying is, crap games cost $40 or $50, but real games still cost $60. Ok I guess.

Bomberman: Act Zero = $49.99

Bomberman been pimpin us with the same game longer than my entire life.

LOL Feeding frenzy 2 49.99 lol

@Nigeria

Have you seen this new one? Seriously, they've utterly ruined it. Full of rubbish cyberpunk nonsense...

Those $40 games are that price for a reason...

As for Bomberman? WHY did they have to make it all futuristic looking? I'd rather it be like the old style Bomberman.

The only game on the $50 I'd buy is LEGO Star Wars. I'd MAYBE buy Rayman but I want to wait for the Wii version and see what they do with it first.

I want a Wii! Wii's prices will be way cheaper, garenteed

Gears of War 11/7/06 (We kid! You'll have to buy either the $59 or $69 sku)

Oh so cruel!!!

Even for that price, Act: Zero is, apparently, not worth it.

No local multiplayer (which has always been Bomberman's trump card. Even though 8-players online is pretty cool, it's still good to have people in the same room play with you).
99 levels in the 1P mode, but no way to save your progress.
And I thought the game was bad when they decided to redesign Bomberman... it turned out worse than I had expected!

Oh, and OXM gave it a 4/10. Ouch!

You americans like cheaper games then?

Come over to the UK and pay US$95 for ALL games!!!

Doubt we will have any price cuts.....

I'm pretty sure it was recently announced - or at least implied - that all versions of Rayman: Raving Rabbids would be delayed in an effort to polish and differentiate the Wii version.

Wow. I wanna buy all none of those games.

"LOL Feeding frenzy 2 49.99 lol"

Um. Not the Arcade game. FUZION Frenzy. The party game that was a launch title (Me thinks) on Xbox 1.

Wait what it announced before that Lego Star Wars would be on the 360, it's not in my stores computer

Pimp My Ride the game?

wow... just wow...

Let's hope it's a stat-heavy RPG ;-)

Sweeeet! Just Cause will be $49? Freaking awesome. Out of that list, I want; Test Drive Unlimited, Just Cause, Viva Pinata , and Gears of war (even tho it's really not on that list..). I might want Rayman, it depends on the reviews.

Shouldn't Ninety-Nine Nights be on the $49.99 list since it's coming out next week?
