SW Battlefront II 'most likely' cheaper a month after launch

While Black Friday, Thanksgiving, and other pre-Christmas sales are pretty common, they don't usually reduce the price for just-released AAA games, however, this could be the case with the upcoming Star Wars Battlefront II, as the game launches November 17 on PC, PS4, and Xbox One and might be slightly cheaper around December 15, which marks the release of the new film.

Publisher EA acknowledges that "we will most likely discount the game like we did last time around the movie launch", clearly referring to Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi, "and maybe you'll even see some selective discounts around the holidays, either Thanksgiving or Christmas".

The quote is 'hidden' inside the company's latest financial report, as transcribed by SeekingAlpha and shared on NeoGAF. "That's the way the games business always has worked. And so if you see the title on discount, don't read anything into that other than the fact that that's the way you sell games in the holidays", the report adds.

Will you be waiting for the game to be discounted alongside the film then?
