In today's sessions of Destination PlayStation, Sony's annual gathering of its retail partners, Sega showed off Condemned, a survival horror game, and a racing title described as "Burnout 3 with weapons" both for the Xbox 2.

Because this is a retail event, the retailers were primarily concerned with what the games were going to cost. According to a source at the event, Sega representatives stated that the company's games for the next generation of consoles would enter the market with a suggested retail price of $59.99 and speculated that launch titles from EA Sports would retail for as much as $69.99.

It is understandable why Sega would mention EA Sports as Electronic Arts has signed an exclusive deal with the NFL taking the NFL license away from Take-Two and Sega.

Regardless if the $70 price tag is speculation or not, one thing is for sure -- if you want to play a licensed football game on the Xbox 2, you'll pay whatever EA decides you'll pay.

I'll be damned if I'll be paying $70.00 for a rehashed P.o.s. EA sports game...

rehashed EA sports game? They said a licensed NFL game... and quite frankly MADDEN is the best football game franchise out...... in no way is Madden NFL a rehashed POS.....

in any other case... those prices seem fair enough... Not the 69.99 one but the 59.99 one..

EDIT: Nintendo was right, next-gen to crash and burn.... for them.... /fanboyism

Real world compared to graphics:


Now I don't think that's too great for a next-gen game..... I mean of course, the graphics are a bit better, so what? The leap isn't half as big as PSX/N64 -> PS2/GCN/XB.

I really start to understand Nintendo.

some of the best graphics on the system

now gamecube... thems some good graphics:


nintendo is right, I dont think next gen will look much/any better than this bottom screen if they did the same exact level

Ahahahahahahahahahhhhhahhhhhhhaaah.

All the people that supported EA in that one thread that went on for 4 pages can kiss my ass.

Looks like having a little competition in the market isn't such a bad idea, is it now?
