$50 FOR THIS?!?!

You've got to be kidding me EA! I guess they're trying to get some money back that they lost from Elite not coming out this year. Or they really think an 2 on 2 basketball game is worth $50. Either way, this not even close to being worth that much money. I'd say $30 at most.

Good luck EA you will not be getting my money for this. Maybe went it goes on sale or something.

Except for the Wii owners that wanted online, they don't deserve it What a douche!

Well then it was a bad price then too, lol. Nah, it's just an arcade game, $50 for it is just ridiculous in my opinion. When a game as fantastic as NFL 2K5 could be had for $20 when it released, a game that looks okay at best is $50? Makes no sense to me honestly, lol. Not hating on the game or anything though, just not my style. But for $20 I would have been foolish not to give it a go.

NFL 2k5 and the whole 2k5 line for 20 bucks was the exception.

Almost all new games were 50 bucks for PS2. Comparing a new game now to a line of games who's price was an aberration and not the standard isn't fair.
