I love a good price war! Earlier this week, Barnes & Noble took on Amazon, slashing its Nook e-book reader to $199 and prompting Amazon to cut the Kindle to $189.
Tuesday, Electronic Arts launched a 48-hour app sale (ending Wednesday night) that dropped 14 of its most popular iPhone/iPod games to 99 cents each.
Not to be outdone, developer Gameloft just fired back with a 99-cent sale on seven of its top titles--all of which usually sell for $4.99. Here's the list:
- Assassin's Creed - Altair's Chronicles
- Brothers in Arms 2: Global Front
- Gangstar: West Coast Hustle
- GT Racing: Motor Academy
- N.O.V.A. - Near Orbit Vanguard Alliance
- Shrek Kart
- Uno
N.O.V.A. for 99 cents? Too good to pass up. And my kids dig Shrek Kart.
Gameloft says these prices are available for "a limited time," which could mean they'll be gone as soon as midnight Wednesday. If you're still in a buying mood after Tuesday, grab these deals while you can.
In the meantime, note to EA, Gameloft, and other developers planning to join the price war: how about some low-price love for the iPad versions as well?
