When will Simcity's price drop?

[IanM]

I've been waiting since release for the price to go down a little bit. I'm wondering when it will drop because it's been out for about 2 months and with the horrible launch it had, you would expect they would drop the price sooner to sell more?

Dont buy it is unplayable still - last time I played less than a week ago I played for about 30min then the screen went black for a few seconds then back to the main menu and all work lost - this happen all the time its pointless playing.

Read this first. Was written a month after release to allow for patches:

My one friend had the same issues as well but last I spoke to him the crashes stop. But in the end any crash on anyone's system is not a good thing.

Very interesting read. Takes a good look at everything that's wrong with the game. I just can't help but wonder if EA will be able to fix it to a playable state, especially now that they're cutting staff left and right...

Two things:
1) The price will be controlled very strictly because it's only for sale in stores and on Origin. Your best bet for a good deal will be from Gamersgate, or in store.
2) The price will have to drop below $10 for me to consider picking up two copies.
