ESPN Videogames pricing
GameSpot is speculating that this year's NHL and NBA games from ESPN Videogames will launch with the same $19.99 price as NFL 2K5 which hit stores yesterday (look for my first take on NFL 2K5 later today).
The rumor began after EBGames.com posted a link on their home page that reads "Click here to check out these other ESPN titles just announced at $19.99." Coincidentally, it was EB Games that leaked the $19.99 price for NFL 2K5 before Visual Concepts and Take-Two made the official announcement.
BTW, when I picked up NFL 2K5 yesterday, the guy at EB Games claimed that the $19.99 price was only good until Madden 2005 is released next month. After that, he said the price will be $39.99. I haven't seen anything to confirm that; however, that would be just one more interesting wrinkle in this year's battle for video game market share. Now if only Bungie would adopt the $19.99 pricing...
