The Force Unleashed II - Why so cheap?
Not to look a gift horse in the mouth, but why is TFU-II so cheap, selling at $39.00 and not the usual $49.00? I wasn't going to get it until the price dropped, but it looks like the price dropped before it went on sale

Could just be a temporary launch sale. When Halo Reach first launched I found a few places that had special launch sales for that game too. While some places were selling the game for 60 dollars, I found a place selling it for 45.
Could be that developers are starting to realize that they make more profit via much higher sales when they don't overprice their games.
I've seen plenty of decent games released lately that cost $20-40, so the industry might just be getting a clue.
i doubt them selling it cheaper makes the game any less good....the first one was great imo...i imagine the second one is just as good but i'm not getting it right away.
Played:FFXI, WoW, LOTR,EQ. Playing:FFXIV.
Looking Forward To:DCU, SWTOR.
Actually the second one was rushed and is pretty bad.
This is reinforced by the horrible critic scores (mid 50s).
Stay away or rent it.
Playing: Rift, LotRO
Waiting on: GW2, BP
That and it probably cost far less to make the sequel since they had already got the engine and their development tools all sorted out while making the first.

Perhaps because the game isn't going to get many A+ reviews and the first one wasn't excellent as well.
If it's crap, at least they don't have the nerve to overprice it. That's the whole point.
A console port is a console port. I used to be happy when games released cheap, now I'm completly suspect.
Alot of places are having black friday sales that started this week. You might have ran into a sale like that too.
No, sub-par console ports always release at 39.99. Although there have been a few hidden gems, the reality is it's secondary to their purpose, and to be honest the 59.99 is that high because of the ten buck fee Sony and MicroSoft charge to release games on their systems.
