EA to drop prices on loads of games

by Blake Snow { Jan 4th 2007 at 9:25PM }

According to Game Invasion, EA will drop the price of 17 cross-platform games starting Jan. 5. The $10-$30 price reduction will affect the following notable titles:

Fight Night Round 3
Madden NFL 07
The Godfather: The Game
Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle Earth
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07
FIFA Soccer 07

PS3 and Wii games weren't invited to the discount party, however. Only 360, PS2, GCN, Xbox, PSP, DS, and GBA will see a lowered MSRP. Buy if you got 'em.

Hot damn Fight Night down to $30 from $60!?!?!? Borrowed it for a while from a friend, might buy it now so I can play him online. Good stuff joystiq

I think the article should read...

"PS3 and Wii games weren't invited to the discount party, however. Only 360, PS2, GCN, Xbox, PSP, and GBA will see a lowered MSRP."

Are the NHL games really that low profile that they don't deserve to be mentioned as a notable title?

Also, after browsing the link, I have to say that the biggest surprise is FIFA 07 for the 360. Honestly, a $410 reduction is huge!

"Buy if you got 'em"

What does that even mean? Do you guys read what you write? Ever?

AlexH @ Jan 4th 2007 11:01PM

Also on the link it says "was" and then "new" (instead of "now"). What a day for typos.

ZS @ Jan 4th 2007 11:01PM

Does this mean that stores will be dropping their prices tomorrow as well? I'd rather not head to Best Buy only to find out they are still pricing them at their old prices.

I work at the Circuit City in South Portland, ME and I got word today to markdown the games on Friday morning.

"Buy if you got 'em"

Yeah, WFT?

I think it should be, Buy them if you want them.

Sweet, I've been waiting for a price drop on LOTR and I've got a GameStop gift card burning a hole in my wallet.

Too bad they're all shitty games.

Mike G @ Jan 5th 2007 2:40AM

Typo:
Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle Earth
should be
Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle Earth II

After spending some time with the 360, Wii, and PS3 recently, I have to say that none of them are yet worth the money. The 360 is the closest in my "Want To Own" category, but I've got far too many games to play for the consoles I have as well as my PC. Over the past few months I've picked up numerous great games recently for the PS2, GC, and XBox that were less than ten bucks and were worth three times that. I've been an early adopter before, but it just isn't worth it this time around.

for you spell checkers...if you guys got a life go out and get one. Thanks for the great info no matter how you say it.

Jason @ Jan 5th 2007 9:50AM

i've been waiting for tiger, hope that one comes down 30...

Imadogg @ Jan 5th 2007 3:03PM

^ Click the link man, for now at least, the 360 version of Tiger just dropped $10 to $50.

alyson @ Jan 6th 2007 8:34PM

I'm curious.
Do some of you people go around looking for grammer errors, and report them to make you feel smart? Or do you do it just because you are anal? As for the games, the reason the prices are dropping is probably because they aren't that great.

softeredge @ Jan 6th 2007 8:42PM

I think the comment refers to the WWII saying, "Smoke if you gottem". Meaning, if you have a cigarette, you can smoke it now. But what do I know, I'm an old lady.

Ghost_Rider-USA @ Jan 6th 2007 8:53PM

"Grammer Errors" can change the structor of what someone is attempting to say, leaving alotta room for misinterpretation...."Buy if you got em" makes no damn sense you moron....It pisses me off when I have to try and "decode" what someone is attempting to say all because they're to stupid to actually "read it over" before posting...

Yea, i'm smart, and I don't have a pocket protector and thick black rimmed glasses either...

Tiger Woods 07 blows dead bears

Mr English @ Jan 6th 2007 9:44PM

Dear Ghost Rider,
You're not as smart as you think lol. It's spelled grammar, not grammer. Also i think you meant to say structure, not structor. I'm not sure what a structor is

Zakk @ Jan 6th 2007 9:53PM

AWESOME!!!!!!! Hopefully the prices will start to fall on my Atari 2600 games!!!!!!!!!! WOOOO HOOOOOO

john @ Jan 6th 2007 11:57PM

buy if you got 'em= buy the lower priced games if you 'got' one of the systems mentioned. makes sense to me.

Scott @ Jan 7th 2007 12:12AM

The public school system has failed us. Nothing new there. And yes, all those games suck ass. Ea is only cutting the price because the titles are old and nobody wants them.

Jack @ Jan 7th 2007 12:44AM

The buy if you got em comment means if you have the mentioned GAME SYSTEMS then you should buy the games that are being lowed in price for that system. I don't see where anyone would get this confused, but then I am not blonde.

Jack Enright @ Jan 7th 2007 12:48AM

Will the prices drop on the Commodore64 games I am waiting for? I am especially waiting for WagonTrain2.0 and Monitor vs. Merrimac.

Bill @ Jan 7th 2007 12:48AM

Thank you Mr. English! LOL Mr. Ghost Rider isn't quite the brain he thinks he is.

Please allow me to point out a few more errors by the Ghost Rider.

"alotta" is not a real word.

"i'm" should be I'm.

"...." at the end of every sentence, you only need one period.

OLDDAWG @ Jan 7th 2007 2:01AM

I THINK IT SHOULD READ, BUY THEM IF YOU'RE STUPID ENOUGH SO TO DO!! IT'S NO WONDER ALL THESE KIDS TODAY ARE FAT ASS SLOBS, WHEN I WAS A KID YOU DIDN'T SIT ON THE COUCH AND PLAY BALL GAMES YOU WENT OUTSIDE AND REALLY PLAY THEM! STRANGE IDEA HUH. THEY PLAY ALL THOSE WAR GAMES NOW, HELL WE USED TO GO OUT CHOOSE SIDES AND HAVE WAR GAMES WITH BB GUNS AND BOW& ARROWS. GRANTED THERE WERE A FEW INJURIES BUT BY GOD WE WERE'NT KEELING OVER DEAD FROM HEART ATTACKS AT 35 OR 40!! ANOTHER 2 OR 3 GENERATIONS AND IRAN COULD COME OVER AND TAKE THE COUNTRY, THESE KIDS NOW DAYS WILL BE TOO DAMN FAT TO FIGHT! I'D LIKE TO HAVE SEEN SOME OF YOU IN NAM, AS LONG AS I DIDN'T HAVE TO DEPEND ON YOU. I THINK I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN DEEP DODO THEN, BUT WHAT THE HEY HAVE ANOTHER SOFT DRINK AND A BIG BAG OF DORITOS. DON'T FORGET THE CHEESE DIP!!

"Buy 'em if you got 'em" is a take off on a WWII saying that was used at the end of a meeting, etc.
It meant, "smoke 'em if you got 'em". I think it was used in every war movie ever made. That is the end of what I know about that saying, so don't get so hot at each other and using up your time on something you are all waaaay too young to know about. And PLEASE do NOT smoke 'em at all. Ginger
