All-Pro Football 2K8 price cut after Madden NFL 08 release possible |

A bit of double-edged news for gamers looking for some quality time passing the next-gen pigskin around. It seems that a price cut may be in the offing for the recently-released football title from Take-Two Interactive, All-Pro Football 2K8 (PS3, Xbox 360), probably some time after its biggest competitor, the Madden franchise, has let loose with its own next-gen salvo. The part of this news item that hits back? All-Pro Football 2K8 doing as good as Take-Two hopes it would have.
This news came from a conference call taken by Take-Two itself, with CEO and President Ben Feder manning the mouthpiece for the company. His statement, verbatim:
We're not terribly pleased and not disappointed. We're watching closely and are going to react proactively when Madden comes out. We know we're in a competition with them.
With Madden NFL 08 hustling its way into store shelves sooner than we think (August 11, mark your calendars), it's not that hard to try and guess just what these "proactive" measures Take-Two might be pulling out of its sleeves - with the most plausible one being a price cut. While this in itself is pretty good news for those of us looking to score a copy but have tight budgets to ascribe to, it's also bad news that a next-gen title has to slash its price tag so early in the game.
That said, who knows just what Take-Two is planning? We can only wonder. Updates as we get them!
