Will Patapon launch at a budget price?

by Andrew Yoon { Jan 2nd 2008 at 10:30PM }

What would make Patapon even better? How about a budget price? It looks like SCEA may be trying to woo gamers into taking the plunge with these lovable critters by making the game launch at the very tasty price of $20. We don't know if this is just a price glitch on Gamestop's part, or if this price is official. We're hoping for the latter -- we know a lot more people will try this innovative game if they see it's available for so cheap.

I'd like to see this as a downloadable too rather than just UMD.

I'll buy it for 20 bucks. I'm playing the japanese version now and even though I can't read it, its still great to play. So once I get it in english its going to be just that much more fun. But if it needs a OFW over 3.71 I wont be getting it. Until M33 that is. But it is worth the price.

If I pre-purchase this and they change they price before release, what happens?

@Trekster_Gamer: What kind of condition is your copy of Maverick Hunter? If you'v got the original case and manual, I might be willing to buy that off you.

Trekster_Gamer @ Jan 3rd 2008 8:50AM

Mint condition, both UMD case and manual

LocoRoco captured my little heart but by the 3rd world it started to drag. I'd probably need a demo or something of Patapon first.

well i was gonna buy this game anyway, but the budget price would make it even more awesome

I've heard that when Gamestop fucks up the price, they end up charging customers more (i.e. you need to pay an extra amount before they'll ship/give you the copy).

Hopefully this is the actual launch price though.
