I still love the push for games by MS, retro is always cool, but the new titles that come to arcade just own. I love seeing these things and look forward to what XNA has to offer.

All I could find when I looked was some speculaitve Joystiq/1Up article. Did Microsoft ever officially say all games even remotely associated with Microsoft Game Studios would be $49.99?

Did Microsoft ever officially say all games even remotely associated with Microsoft Game Studios would be $49.99?

What is the reason for that change and can Xbox 360 owners expect other first and second party games like Halo 3 or Mass Effect to cost this much? Microsoft Spokesperson: It's up to publishers to value their games and it's up to the market to decide if publishers get it right. Of course, every game will be evaluated for value on a case-by-case basis - that won't change. As for us, we will ship our games at parity pricing with the current generation. Basically they're charging $60 for it because they know people will buy it no matter what, while other titles (PDZ, PGR, Kameo, Viva Pinata) aren't completely sure things. I'd bet on Halo 3 also being $60. Actually, Microsoft as the publisher of Gears of War did price it at $60.
