ESPN NFL 2k5 still $19.99 on Ebgames.com...
Not sure what happened with the earlier pricing situation, but I just happened to see that ESPN NFL 2k5 is listed on their front page for $19.99 on both Xbox and PS2 versions.
Just a heads up for those of you that may be interested.

This has been reported in several of the "big" video game magazines.

July 20th is true. And that price has been known to be true for a while.
Anybody interested in trying to lock in the same price for ESPN Hockey or Basketball 2k5 should visit cduniverse.com. They're the only ones to have them that low (every place else you'll look has them at $49.99), and if it turns out that that will indeed be the standard price everywhere, their site is set up to allow one to easily cancel orders.

cduniverse.com? (shudder)
That site was a nightmare when I last ordered from them (though that was a few years ago). Are they better now?

Anyone get the feeling that with a reduced priced and an early release date (less development time), the game might suffer? I guess we will find out soon enough.

2005 ESPN NFL Football $10 bucks with ten codes from http://origin.cokesports.com/programdetails.jsp
Normally $20 with a 10 off coupon from cokesports.com.
BTW. I'm getting this the day it comes out. We should do a dvdtalk league!

I think it is a wise choice to make the MSRP $20. I mean, I always get the EA versions (never played Sega football games) Now, with the lower price I will most likely give it a shot.

The price drop is just a last ditch attempt to overcome the Madden brand name.

Also, you have to remember that this kind of game (and I mean Madden too) is not so much developed as it is tweaked from year to year. It's not as if it's a whole new game that has to be developed from scratch, at least until the next console generation.

Good move on Sega's part with the price. I prefer Madden's engine and control, but I love the look and presentation of ESPN. I usually only buy Madden, but this year I'll have to get both with a price that low.
