The Blog for the Sports Gamer Three guys who love Sports Gaming rant and rave about various stuff.

Thursday notes

- Being a Packer fan, even I'm annoyed with Favre being on the cover of Madden.  Maybe there wasn't an athlete who wanted to deal with the curse this year, but I just think it wrong.  I also happen to think that Madden isn't a good game and while that has nothing to do with whose on the cover, I just felt like saying it.

- If you haven't had a chance to try out Echochrome, it's quite the puzzle game.  I also saw today that the full version of the game is going to be priced at $9.99.  You have to love a price like that... considering that people will be able to download addon puzzles for free.

- Loco Roco was on the Playstation Store today as well... for $21.99.  Are you kidding me?  The game has been on the discount rack at Best Buy for $9.99 for months.  I really don't understand that pricing.

- Speaking of pricing, why is it that DLC never has a price drop.  I started playing Guitar Hero II after picking the game up again and I went to check on the songs on the store and saw that they're the same price that they were a year and a half ago.  Almost all content on the 360 store is the original price that it came out at, with a few minor exceptions.  I can't understand why.  Why isn't downloadable content subject to the same pricing schemes as the retail model?  I would have to figure that the demand for the content drops after the initial release, so why not cut the price in half to increase the sales again.  It's not like you're making more money buy having it sit there without selling.  Crazy.
