Halloween weekend sale apparently - $6.99 instead of $9.99

I was surprised to not see a post on this here - so for those of you that don't hang out in game forums (not that i do - i just saw it breeze by on my appshopper RSS feed), i thought i'd post it for you to catch!

Awesome!!!

Thanks for the heads up. I'll get it either tonight or tomorrow.

pick this one up on sale!

I got it @$10 but i really like the game. I think it would make more sense to have it on sale for the release to boost sales, then you would not get the "early worms" mad about spening more $$$ just because they wanted to show support.

I haven't even bought it myself, my kids would be the ones playing - and I wasn't excited about the music selections for them.

I"ll ponder it over the weekend - perhaps they can talk their Dad into an iTunes card.

i'd really like to buy it but it's not available in luxembourg, how can a big company like ea be so cruel to leave out all 400.000 of us?

My guess is that it's a licensing issue.

There's no good way to really prevent everyone from being upset. If you release it and put it on sale right away then people gripe because they're unsure the game will work well. If you release it and put on it sale the "early adopters" get their panties in a bunch about having to spend $3.00 more on the game.

I'm quite pleased that I did wait because the reviews are good. I think I'll have to pick this up.
