GamerFitNation's Gregory Laporte writes "Let me be clear before I begin, games are not going to cost $69.99. Sony has said that they are in fact going to be cheaper. However, during an EA investor call EA's CFO mistakenly said they will be. Well after hearing this, it raised some thoughts in my mind. If games did cost $69.99 would you be willing to go all in next generation? Earlier this month head honcho Jack Tretton said games are actually cheaper than PlayStation 3 games. If this is true, then how could EA even mistakenly mention this? Is it to in a way gauge consumers interest or is this EA living up to its reputation."

TopSpin 2K25 Review - After a very long hiatus, TopSpin is back! Can Hangar 13 bring the venerable tennis series back to relevance?
Say what you like, but virtual farming is big business. And that means the release of Farm Tycoon onto the Xbox ecosystem should appeal.
looks like ill be waiting for price drops this entire gen,if a game is $75.
Nope. I hardly pay $59.99 for current gen games nowadays so there is no way I'd pay $69.99. Games need to go back to the $40-$50 sweet spot. I hardly buy games day one anymore because of the price. I don't like to buy used so I always end up getting a game a couple months after release now due to waiting for price drop.
If EA (or any other publisher) is going to charge 69.99$ for a game I won't be buying a lot of games day one. But I don't think 70$ will be next gen standard MSRP.
Nope. Especially if they were like this gen. I'll just wait for sales.
Considering DLC, you're paying $70+ for a "full" title right now.
And if gamers were $100, as they are in countries other than the U.S., they would still be asking for more money via DLC. as they actually are.
