For all the debate about how Sega feels about the sales of mad world, the sudden price cut slimming the cost to purchase the title down to $30 after just 2 months on the market should be a pretty clear indicator that things have not gone according to plan.

The price should be effective as of today at your local game stop. 

That doesn't necessarily mean it flopped, though.

I didn't say it flopped, just that a game that is selling up to expectations doesn't see a price drop within 6 months, let alone 2.

I have never, and I mean never, seen a third party game (on any console) retain it's original price 6 months after release. 90% of all third party games have price cuts within 3 months (at least where I live).

MadWorld is a low budget and short game. It should have been budget-priced from the start.

..............some games don't sell enough to even get a price drop. Castlevania Judgment is still $49.99 at GameStop.

MadWorld getting a price drop is a good idea. I would get it at $22 (thats my limit). $29.99 is something most (working) gamers cannot argue with.

Where is the article about the price cut? It's still full price over here.

Port madworld to the PS2 and watch the money pile up, PS2 gamers are starving.

Same developer, same genre... It flopped.

still 49.99 at gamestop, target, walmart, toysrus, and best buy so where did you see this price drop, are you sure it wasn't a local sale? remember a few weeks ago when gta cw was on sale for 20 at best buy and people were proclaiming it as a price drop, well it is 35 again, a sale is not a price drop or clearance

It might be marked $49.99 at Gamestop, but it rings up at $29.99. Confirmed and purchased :)
