Good news Dead Island fans, Dead Island Riptide will be a tiny bit cheaper than normal. It's going to be $50 brand new

That's pretty cool. I hate that all new games are usually $60. A lot of them aren't worth that.
This may be a change but I'm not sure if it's going to make them more money or not.

Wow, this news is certainly surprising. I had imagined that Riptide would cost a lot more than $50 USD. When the original Dead Island was released in New Zealand it cost over $100 NZD. At the time it was one of the most expensive releases, otherwise I would have brought it straight away but I had just brought Dead Rising 2.

I hope more new releases are priced at this price. Perhaps they will sell more titles? Win, win situation for all.

Yea I'm surprised they are breaking away from the traditional pricing. Hopefully this won't mean a bad game.

GOTY games usually aren't a full $60.
