We're advertising the game as $39.99 at my store (GameStop). It seems that's the actual price.



I've defended Banjo Kazooie through and through. But if it turns out to be a demo ala GT5:P I'll do everything I can to make the game burn.

I will become the anti-Banjo.

It's a good thing you don't have the ability to do anything then.

Why is the price an issue? It simply could be that they are attempting to get volume sales to the more "casual" crowd. $39.99 is a much better deal than $60 for new so I'll pick it up new instead of waiting to get a good deal on a used copy.

I heard Viva Pinata 2 may also go the $39.99 route.

Fantastic pricing. I wish all games could follow this price plan.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Got a retro room? Post it here!

Hmmmm, might do better than I thought at this price.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

Yea i heard the same thing, which is good call for the holiday season.

 



Rare games haven't been selling well. For $59.99 most people will pass on them or wait for it to drop in price. By the time the game drops in price, they will either forget about the game or not care about it anymore. Why risk that chance? Selling these games at $39.99 will get more games out there from the getgo. Maybe even selling to the people that wouldn't normally buy them. Establishing a foothold with the consumers. If the games sell well they can bring out future games at higher prices.
