Nintendo - SMG price cut? - View Post

pffft. Nintendo never cuts the price of their games. Really annoying actually and one of the reasons I like the PS3 as I can count on significant discounts a couple of months later. I just bought BatmanAA for $20 off of Ebay due to its lower retail pricing. Twilight Princess, a MUCH older game, still costs ~$30 on ebay.

There is actually a decent Batman game or does it suck like almost all Batman games before it?  I think the last decent Batman game was during the 16 bit era maybe 8 bit not sure.  Also, it makes it a little easier if a game starts at 60 dollars to cut the price when the price should have been 50 to begin with.  Video game industry might be looking to adopt health care inflation model.  Go up 10-20% each year in price / go up 10-20% in price each generation.

Batman AA is one of the best games I've played in recent years. Its a REALLY good game and I strongly recommend it to anyone.

I do agree with your reasoning on the $60 games. That probably is why PS3 games can drop quicker as the initial $10 hike makes a lot of money up front.
