New games drop price by 60% after eight months

Used Video Game Pricing is a somewhat sporadically published blog that tracks game prices and follows how they change over time. Hey, at least someone is doing the work out there so we don't have to. They have an interesting article up detailing how the price of games released in the last two years tend to drop in price (not value ... you can pry Halo 2 from our cold, blistered fingers) by 60%.

Which is a bit of bad news for those of you waiting on price drops for all of the upcoming titles that will be blasting us until the end of the year. Who can wait eight months? Although if you manage to wait that long, you can pick up two for less than the price of one. Interestingly enough, games that were released more than two years ago only drop in price by 20%, meaning that your copy of Whacked! might still actually hold some value, both monetarily and sentimentally.
