If ESPN NFL 2005 launches at $19.99, I'll definitely pick it up alongside Madden 2005.

 

[Defensor]

Not a bad price for Counterstrike. Does offline mulitiplayer have bots?

 

[Outdoor Miner]

Can't be that bad for $10. I'm in.

 

[LuckyBrand]

awesome man, i was looking into getting this.. $9.99 cant be beat, its a solid online game.. the offline mode is bots and its okay as you can adjust the difficulty..

good way to learn the new Xbox maps.

 

[LuckyBrand]

is this online only or instore too?

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

there is no offline multiplayer, you play only against bots.


and from what i understand, ESPN Football 2005 is officially launching @ $19.99 for the next few years, for sega to gain marketshare, it wasn't just a rumor



*online only deal for counterstrike

 

[bob_arctor]

Wow. $19.99. Unreal. I would have gotten it at full price but jeez, that's a fucking steal.

 

[Mairu]

Definitely ordering CS XB for 9.99

Thanks!

 

[jedimike]

Everybody with XBL better go get CS now! It is a blast!

As triumph would say... get it or I'll punch you in the testicles.

 

[LuckyBrand]

shit looks like EB took it down at that price.. cant add it to my in basket.

 

[Mairu]

shit looks like EB took it down at that price.. cant add it to my in basket.

Wow, looks like I got my order in just at the last second

 

[LuckyBrand]

i am a moron.. i waited to call the local store and then wehn I went back to put it in my basket, i couldnt.. dammit.

 

[Guileless]

If you're an American with an Xbox and don't buy ESPN 2005, you should be shipped off to Russia and removed from the American gene pool.

 

[LittleTokyo]

Maybe I'll give counterstrike a try. It's cheap around here, even if the deal is over. I'm a huge Socom fan, but never got into CS on the PC. Perhaps I'll give it a whirl.

And ESPN NFL 2005 for $19.99? Hell, sounds good to me. I'm a huge Madden fan, but for that price, why not buy both? This is a great move by Sega.

 

[Outdoor Miner]

UPDATE: CS is SOLD OUT already, DAMN.

 

[LuckyBrand]

i hope they drop the price of CS-X instore to $19.99 soon or something.. i aint going to pay $29.99 for a new copy anytime soon, but I want the game....

 

[segasonic]

"price leadership is for the weak"

john riccitello

 

[LuckyBrand]

i kid you not.. not adding CS-X to my in basket for $9.99 has ruined my day..

i should just go to sleep for the day now, at 3pm..

if anyone got it in their basket, and doesnt want it anymore, please let me know... i doubt anyone of you ordered it and dont actually want it, but just in case...

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

sorry to hear that lucky

these deals go so quickly, what you have to do is just place the order and think about it later. if you want to cancel it an hour from the time you ordered (after you've thought about it) it's very easy to cancel. but you can't pass up good deals like this

hopefully it comes back in stock at that price... lucky, watch ebgames.com and cheapassgamer.com, they have done the samething with wario world for gc. having it @ 9.99 then it sells out, then reposting it @ 9.99

 

[LuckyBrand]

yah ill keep checking, i wish there was a way to get notified if it came back in stock.. do you know if thats possible?

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

ehhh i dont think its possible to be notified

 

[Outdoor Miner]

Cheapassgamer.com will update if it's been put back in-stock.

 

[mjq jazz bar]

This is one of the most incredible moves Sega has ever made in their history of [admittedly really bad] moves.

 

[Apharmd Battler]

there is no offline multiplayer, you play only against bots.

What do you mean? You can play offline via system link. But there is no single player campaign (i.e. Unreal tournament, Quake3, etc.). Also the bots in this game are pretty darn good.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

oh my bad. for some reason i took that as "offline splitscreen mutliplayer". sorry dudes, there is system link

 

[Cloudy]

ESPN ordered. Thanks, FMT

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

why do you keep ducking me in ID2004 konex! scared of what i might do to showbe?

 

[open_mouth_]

This is an awesome move by Sega if true. Why? Because instead of selling a small initial quantity and forcing retailers to drop the price of their sports lineups to sub $9.99 prices within a month or two, they can capture a much larger share of the market in each sport this time around. Even if they break even or make less than they would have, they've just introduced their quality games to a much larger audience and next time around when the next-gen begins, they'll be right their with a large user base ready to buy their products at full price.

NFL 2k5, NHL 2k5, NBA 2K5, and their baseball franchise will all undoubtably be great games.

 

[Kabuki Waq]

the best hockey game in the world for 19.99?!?!?!


WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

 

[Rodriguez]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

You strike me as the type of guy who would buy the game, talk all this shit about being great, but when someone challenges you to a game online, you duck.

You got all that from "WOOOOOOOO!" ???

[dorio]

[FrenchMovieTheme]

Whoo hoo! I get the superior game for a cheaper price!

This is actually great, I've been terribly low on money recently and I was going to pass on getting NCAA this year.

Sega helps EA sales! Uh oh!

 

[cvxfreak]

Nice price for CS. I would have bought it if I knew about it sooner.

haha, thats the exact same problem i was having. thanks to sega i can now pick up their game AND an ea game. wonderful!

 

[Mrbob]

The budget price better not give VC an excuse to not fix all the problems from 2K4!

 

[soulja224466]

ESPN NFL at $20? Ordered!

 

[op_ivy]

holy crap, i had just ordered counter strike yesterday from them online for 19!


thankfully they arent asshats and after calling they credited my card back 10 bucks

 

[Vgamer]

WOW ESPN football for $19.99 at release? That is nuts!

 

[SickBoy]

I do hope all the Sega Sports games have some real work done on them from the 2K4 games. I'm sure they will, but budget pricing helps raise suspicions.
