PlayStation 3 games for $39.99

The PlayStation 3 console price is not going be dropping any time, but the next best thing would be cheaper titles -- and that's exactly what we're going to get.

Yes, according to Punch Jump, some PS3 titles will be getting a massive price cut of $20, taking $59.99 titles down to $39.99. Retailer Target is specifically advertising EA's Need for Speed Carbon, Activision's Marvel Ultimate Alliance and Tony Hawk's Project 8 as three games that will be a much more reasonable price.

Competition-wise, Nintendo's Wii has still got the advantage when it comes to the wallet. The console retails for half the price of the PS3 and titles start at $29.99. However, many would argue that you get what you pay for.

This is a new strategy in the next generation battle, with these adjustments taking place only a month after release. Xbox 360 gamers also saw similar decreases in costs, but those cuts happened much later in the game.
