SSX Price Keeps Plummeting
SSX has barely been out a month and it's already been halved in price. Amazon (Xbox 360 - PS3) and Best Buy have already dropped the game to $30.

It's hard to imagine a scenario in which a sequel comes about no...

Big Sale on Three Recent EA Sports Releases: SSX, FIFA Street, and Grand Slam Tennis 2
In the last month EA Sports relaunched three franchises to mixed results. Those three have now received significant price reductions with SSX and FIFA Street falling to $40 and Grand Slam Tennis 2 down to $30 at Amazon making them much more appealing as potential purchases. SSX (Xbox 360 - PS3) has generally been well received since launching at the end of February. Amazon did originally offer a $10 promo credit with pre-orders so this amounts to an extra $10 shaved off from then. FIFA...

SSX: Hits and Misses
The SSX reboot from EA Sports faced the difficulty of living up to nostalgic feelings bred from earlier entries in the series while taking advantage of the advanced technology available to in turn justify its full price on the 360 and PS3 with a wider-ranging experience. The new game had to appeal to those earlier fans while reaching new ones - and it entered the marketplace during a period where arcade-style games have found little traction. Despite some bumps along the way SSX largely s...

SSX Gets Unique Variation of Online Pass
It's no surprise that next month's release of SSX will carry with it an "online pass" - a code that is given for free inside new copies to access online functionality and which requires those who obtain used copies to pay a fee to access the content in question. Interestingly though EA Sports isn't walling off everything online-related with SSX and everyone will be able to play online. Instead those who doesn't have the "online pass" simply won't be receiving the "credits" that are given ...
