We're technically calling this a rumor, since prices change all the time on online stores and don't represent the final sale prices. But with Amazon and GameStop both making the same change on the same day, we feel confident that Ghost Squad will actually retail for $29.99 when it comes out on November 20th. That means that we can now approximate a Ghost Squad Zapper bundle. Buying Ghost Squad and a Zapper now would set you back $50-- the cost of most new games-- and would get you Link's Crossbow Training as a bonus. Or you could just save money and hold your controllers yourself!
We think that releasing the game simultaneously with the Zapper, and at a price that encourages buying it with the 'hardware', is a good move on Sega's part. We hope somebody manages to notice this move a week after Super Mario Galaxy's release.

Don't forget Umbrella Chronicles. Hope the reviews I read of the zapper are not correct. I will get one anyway to try it myself but really hope it isn't hindering to playing.

Amazon says they honor the lowest pre-order price, so even if this is a glitch, they should make good.

Woo! Hope this is true, which is certainly seems, because I wanted this game but also felt it should be budget priced. Wi-Fi eh? Rockin! I will be getting this for sure. Hopefully it catches on, eh?

I'll probably end up buying this because it looks like a lot of fun. But really, to expect it to be anything more than $30 is kind of absurd. I mean, it's an arcade game out for over three years. Still, if the port is well done and it turns out the Zapper is good, this could be a great buy for thirty dollars.

At $30, I will get this game. It is certainly not worht $50 for a 3 year old Arcade Port.
