Toca Pro Race Driver 3 - PC/PS2 vs XBOX Price
I noticed over the weekend that Fry's (overstock.com) has Toca Race Driver 3
on sale for $29.99 for both the PC and the PS2, but not the XBOX. I assume that this is simply because of the delay of the XBOX version of the game, and the timing of when their flyer came out at the end of last week. I stopped in my local Fry's yesterday and they now do have the XBOX version but it's selling for $39.99 rather and not $29.99 like the Playstation 2 and PC versions. Frankly I'm a little angry about this, as I've been waiting for the XBOX version so I can race on XBOX Live! Bestbuy and EB Games also have this title at $39.99. I'm curious to know if anyone has seen it any cheaper than this, and if so where? Also, your thoughts on if it will go on sale at places like Best Buy, Circuit City, etc, etc in the next week or so now that it's out, or did we XBOX gamers simply miss out on a sale price due to the delay in this games release? |

You are viewing TRD3 as a unified product. You need to understand that the sales of Xbox software, like the PS2 as well, has to generate revenue to offset the losses incurred by manufacturing the consoles. Think of them as three totally different games, not a single game just tweeked for each platform. That is the code base, but not the retail base. Any 'sales' are going to be driven by retailor interest coupled with current marketing plans of both the publisher and Microsoft . So the fact two of the same title were on sale does not mean they had planned to do the same with the 3rd part.(xbox) dave henrie |

Im suprised the ps2 was only 29.99 here it is 39.99. And no one caries
the pc version. Codemasters isnt going to sell allot for the pc with the combined starforce protection and just the fact that if you want it you going to have to buy it online.

And the next thing there will be a press release saying 'We are
discontinuing the PC version due to poor sales. It doesn't matter that we stepped on our own feet by poor marketing and the inclusion of a despised copy protection system'. -Larry > wrote in message ... > Im suprised the ps2 was only 29.99 here it is 39.99.

Sheesh. You wouldn't like living in Australia. Top new release Xbox games have always been about US$70 |

Good news comes to those who wait ;-)
Best Buy has Toca Race Driver 3 for XBOX as well as PS2 on sale this week for $29 US, which is $10 off the regular price. Guess they waited to put it on sale in their weekly flyer/ad until the XBOX version had shipped out |
