Electronic Arts Slashing Current-Gen Game Prices

GamesIndustry.biz reported last night that Electronic Arts is slashing the prices of all their current-gen titles in North America. Madden NFL 06, which along with fellow EA Sports titles FIFA 06, NASCAR 06 and NBA Live 06, and movie tie-in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, is dropping from $39.99 to $29.99.

That's just a few to mention, when all is said and done, EA will have slashed the price on 48 of their current-gen titles.

That's some good news for all of us that have not had the chance to play some of their great games. But how about some better news? Look for other game companies to piggy-back what EA is doing and slash the prices on all the current-gen games. That's right, this is a clear indication that the Next-Gen (Xbox 360, PS3, Revolution) is starting to hit full swing for all the gaming developers out there.

So get out there and pick up some cheap gems while you wait for all the Next-Gen titles to hit store shelves.
