Various retailers (including EB Games and GameStop) are reporting that when ESPN NFL 2K5 launches this summer for the Xbox and the PS2, it will come with a price tag of $19.99.
The game is currently sporting a release date of August 24 and this move is obviously an attempt to fight the mighty Madden the only way Sega knows how: at the register.
We'll keep you posted on all the pigskin progress as Madden and ESPN NFL are the only gridiron games left. Previews of both are also in the pipeline.
