All first party Microsoft games should retail for the MSRP of $49.99. This does not include any third party titles but we expect them to also follow suit.

Great news if it holds out to be true...I really wished that $59.99 price tag for new games were not true...I mean..i didn't pay that kind of price since catridge days.

Anyone know license-costs for Games? Those that Publishers have to pay MS/Sony for each DVD or Game...

I don't have anything against MS, but do you really believe MS spokesmen after what they did with hardware and their promisses?
Don't get too excited yet....

if microsoft sells their 1st party at a price 3rd parties can't afford to sell at, it can only be qualified some unfair competition for them.

 

[Shifty Geezer]

1st party titles can be sold for less and still be more profitable for the developer because the license fee is 'waived'. There'll be an etra $10 or so per 3rd party title that goes to MS. That has to be paid for somewhere along the line and if games are already costing more to create prices will have to go up to fund that.

I expect third parties, at least high quality titles, to be more expensive, but don't mind if they're worth the money.

Someone posted prices they got from their distributor.
