+StevoFC MVC Posted January 16, 2008 MVC Share Posted January 16, 2008 I was just wondering if anyone else noticed that barely any of the PS3 games have dropped in price? Both the 360 and Wii for example, the games tend to drop in price about $10-$20 a few months after their release. But, with the PS3 barely any games have dropped at all... Are they just not selling enough to get to that threshold of a price drop or what? I'm looking to buy some of the older games that came out around launch, but they are still full price. It's slightly annoying... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sn00pie Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 a few have, you can pick up Resistance for like $39.99 compared to $59.99 for most games in canada. depends where you look though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+StevoFC MVC Posted January 16, 2008 Author MVC Share Posted January 16, 2008 anywhere I have looked Resistence is still about $59.99 new here in the US. give or take a couple dollars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDQuiksilver Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 You can find some for $49.99 here and there. Check eBay if you're comfortable with it. Some sellers will sell brand new games (older) for a discounted price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+StevoFC MVC Posted January 16, 2008 Author MVC Share Posted January 16, 2008 I'll probably just end up buying some used through Amazon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wannes Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Here in Belgium the games cost ? 69,99 ( $ 100+ ) and drop to ? 59,99 after a while. Now, you were saying? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech Star Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 I don't know why, but Gamespot always lowers them together. I wonder when the Greatest Hits will come. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinkShirtGuy Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 around my area, most if not all of the older sports games are 29-39.99, i think resistance too, I've seen a lot of other games below $40 (or at 39.99 or less). example: on amazon, NBA Street Homecourt 28.00 Virtua Tennis 3 39.99 MLB 07: The Show 38.99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rookas Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I just bought heavenly sword for $36 and warhawk for $31. Also picked up GH3 for 360 for $31. Gamefly baby, you don't even have to leave the house. Free shipping and brand new case, only used part is the disc and after 30+ games I've yet to have a problem with any of them.

CloudEngineer Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 most new games come out here at roughly $120AUD, then drop down to $99AUD some games come out at that $99 price point though, eg orange box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no problem with the price. To me it's not too expensive. I'm just curious as the why the non sports titles aren't dropping at all in my area.

The "You were saying" was more a funny note than something else. ;) I wouldn't know why they don't drop at your area. Maybe try out another shop or is it all shops?

williamhook Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Most, if not all PS3 games at my local Game store are ?39.95. A few titles (DiRT, Motorstorm, etc) are cheaper (?29.95) but they're still bloody expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
