NFL 2k3 takes a price cut

For those of you who need a new football game, you're in luck. Sega Sports NFL 2k3 appears to have taken a price cut across the board. The new price, following that of NCAA 2k3, is now 29.99. Circuit City and Ebgames both have it listed at that price and with the sale at Best Buy, this price should stay. If you dont own it, I highly recommend it. Support Sega Sports, their games are great and need to get a jumpstart to create a buzz.

Stay away from the crappy GameCube version. I was lucky enough to sell it and get enough money for Madden 2003.

It appears as if Sega is going that way. Give a game a couple of months and they'll slash the price. I do hope so b/c hockey games are always the most fun.

I doubt Fever played much of a role in the price drop.

1. Fever got pretty crappy reviews.

2. Madden is their main competition and it kicked the crap out of 2K3 in sales.

3. Fever's only on the X-box, 2K3 is on all systems. They'd have little reason to drop the price on a multi-console game just because of a game on one system.

That's quick work on the part of sega. Especially since it was beaten so soundly by Madden. I think if they had started out even 5 bucks lower, that would've attracted more buyers.

I know that for me, Madden and 2K were a deadlock, but I went with 2K because it was only 40 dollars at KB Toys just a week after release date.

I'd say it has more to do with the fact that Sega recently announced that they are getting hammered now. They aren't doing nearly as well as they had hoped.

Isn't this price cut due to Sega getting hammered in sales? I read an article where Madden 2003 trounced all over NFL 2K3 by an enormous margin.

Thats why this game and the NCAA football game dropped so fast in price. EA killed them in sales and stores were stuck with thousands of copies of the 2K3 games that weren't selling. They had to drop the price.
