I was browsing
EBgames and noticed a growing trend among upcoming Gamecube titles. It seems that a lot of preorder games are selling for $39.99, $10 less than most new games sell for. There are even a few games you can preorder for even less than that. It made sense that RE2 and RE3 sold for $39.99 because they were older ports that were not enhanced (many would aruge they should sell for $19.99), but these games I saw are brand new.
The bad news, of course, is that most of these titles suck. Out of all of them the only two I'll probably end up buying are Ikaruga and Rayman 3, but it's nice to save $20 ($10 on each game).
