I need to pick up these games...but I'm hesitant. First of all, I'm looking at dropping $60 as is for God of War 3 of March 16th. Killzone has been out for nearly A YEAR! The $60 price tag is not only high for a game to begin with, but to continue to uphold is ridiculous.

I'm more thinking Demon's Souls, though. Do you guys think it will drop anytime soon? Killzone, i simply don't know if I can justify a $60 purchase on a game that's a year old, with an online community that is while probably strong, not as strong as it once was.

Do you think Demon's Souls will be dropping any time soon? The last thing I want is to run out and pay $60 dollars (SUCH a big purchase...$50 was so much easier on my wallet) and see it drop to $40.

I know it's pure speculation, but do you guys anticipate any price drops on these games? Sucker punch dropped Infamous, GTA and MGS at 30 dollars. Do you think KZ will become a greatest hit anytime soon?

No way DS will get a price drop soon. As for Killzone 2...I would say summer at the earliest for a price drop, and even then I really don't see it dropping price at all.

Hard to say with Killzone 2. Sony are usually pretty stingy with price drops, except for with Infamous. But you can definitely get it cheaper than $60. Amazon has it for $49.99, and Half.com has even better deals.

Demon's Souls, I wouldn't expect anything. Atlus doesn't drop prices all that much.

Demon's Souls was published by Atlus and in pretty limited copies in true Atlus fashion (For a G.O.T.Y. contender printing 500,000+ copies is nothing). I wouldn't expect to see a price drop for at least another year if at all. As for Killzone 2, Sony keeps their exclusives at $60 for a good couple of years but you might get lucky and they will announce it in their new Greatest Hits line-up at E3 for the end of the year.

Blockbuster is selling Killzone 2 used for $34.99... and I think it's $39.99 at Gamestop. Demon's Souls, honestly, I can only see getting more expensive....

Whoops forgot to mention, Demon's Souls is around $40 used on ebay. Around $50 for a brand new copy. I'd jump on that.

Killzone is $29.99-39.99 used at Gamestop. It's not going to kill you if you dont get the plastic wrap, will it? Demon's Souls pricetag used is still relatively high @ $50. There are options...

I actually do think KZ2 will be a Greatest Hit soon. It's right at a year old, so it's about time. Both SF4 and UFC Undisputed are now Greatest Hits for $29, and neither of them are a year old yet. I'm not sure what determines whether or not a game is a "Greatest Hit," but I would think KZ2 would have to be if SF4 and UFC are.

Demon's Souls isn't getting a price drop anytime soon. I suggest you pick up a copy of DS soon because pretty soon there won't be many players playing and their co-op system is amazing.

Demon's Souls >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Killzone 2 (generic to the max). Just save up and buy Demon's Souls as is, by the time the price drops you would have already earned far more then just that.

Most RPG gamers know that waiting around for an ATLUS title to drop in price and remain available is never a good idea.

Once in while you luck out, like when the original Disgaea finally went "greatest hits", but that was the exception, and not the rule.
