I've noticed a trend in the last few weeks. Maybe it's the approaching holidays or maybe it's better marketing; but the standard $59-priced next-gen game is getting cheaper.

Here's some examples from GameStop:

• Sega Rally Revo (360/PS3): $49.99
• Beautiful Katamari (360): $39.99
• Tony Hawk Proving Ground (360/PS3): $54.99
• Orange Box (360): $54.99
• Tomb Raider Anniversary (360): $39.99

Granted, they're aren't all huge releases, it's a great sign that companies setting prices correctly, instead of a blanketed flat fee.

I think it's because they're not big releases amidst a sea of big releases. In the same time period these games will be on the shelf, they'll be sharing space with Halo 3, Mass Effect, Rock Band, Assassin's Creed, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, etc.

That being said, I'm highly anticipating my copy of The Orange Box and it's 99 achievements (yowza!)
