Microsoft lowers prices on games

Microsoft has announced that it has dropped the European prices of Dead or Alive 3, Project Gotham Racing, Azurik, Nightcaster, and NBA Inside Drive 2002 to 59.99 euros ($56) as a part of a summer promotion. "In preparation for making it a great summer for gamers and retailers, we're introducing special prices for these top games," said Sandy Duncan, vice president of Xbox Europe. "These titles have done very well for us, and all have appeared in and around the top-10 Xbox sales charts. We have also received an overwhelming response to these games through reviews and awards, proving that both the industry and consumers love the Xbox and its games portfolio."

There is currently no word as to whether or not Microsoft plans to incorporate a similar program in North America.
