I guess that the price of a game really reflects it's sales. And maybe, just maybe, after the handful of AAA games all released the SAME WEEK drop to 40$ in a month, publishers will stop sabotaging themselves like this every year.
I'm sure that these games are great, and like the Price of Persia 40$ price drop, after LESS then a month of being out, it could have been avoided if they came out in the MANY dead weeks throughout the year. I mean, between the dipping economy and the sheer VOLUME of other titles being released, how surprising is it that a few of them got left behind and already get price cuts? And, RE5 coming in a couple months will probably sell like hot-cakes. Granted, that does have a long line of games behind it, but so do most of the games that got a drop.
Best Buy has World at War for 35 bucks on 360 for the rest of the week. I price matched it at Wal Mart and used my $25 gift card so I only paid 12 bucks for a brand new game I actually wanted. Hooray me!
I remember how psyched I used to be about this game, since I've been longing for another current-gen snowboard game to come out since Amped 3 back in 2005, and with Shaun White's name on the box I was expecting some realism.
It saddens me to see that the animations look stiff, the pop-off's you do off the jumps are completely insane and the snow... well, it looks like the sand in Assassin's Creed, just colored white.
I'll definatly be checking out reviews before even concidering picking this one up.
agreed entirely. I really want to demo this, but I read that controls are definitely iffy. we'll see, it looks beautiful regardless. I want to try before buy!
