"EBgames and Play.com make pricing suggestions. Plus: Burnout 360

Retailers EBgames.com and Play.com have added product pages for Xbox 360 launch games to their listings, with both sites displaying higher-then-normal prices for software, indicating a new pricing trend for next-gen titles.

Both sites are listing games such as Dead or Alive 4, Call of Duty 2, Tony Hawk's American Wasteland and Project Gotham Racing 3, with titles carrying a price tag of $59.99 on EBgames.com and a RRP of £49.99 on Play.com - that's higher than the price of current-gen new releases by $10 for US games and £10 for UK titles.

With regards to dates, EBgames has all its titles pencilled in for a 1 November release, nicely hinting at the US date of the hardware itself.

Play.com goes one better by having the console actually listed along with the software, both carrying a 29 November release date, which, when compared to the EBgames date, works out about right - Microsoft has said there would be a three to four week gap between the US and UK launch.

Play.com also has the console available for pre-order at a staggering £399. This, however, is unlikely to be the final price, though, given that J Allard only recently told the press that Xbox 360 would be 'in the neighbourhood' of $300.

Also, despite only having been confirmed for PS2 and Xbox, Burnout Revenge has appeared on both EBgames and Play.com's Xbox 360 listings, seemingly confirming that EA is bringing the game to next-gen consoles after all."
