Definitely a mistake. I wonder if you pre-order now if you can lock it in for that price though.

EDIT: I think they were suppose to drop the price on 2k4 not 2005 since the screenshots are from 2k4.

The feature list is also that of 2K4's...

I do not believe this is a mistake.

First off, we saw ESPN MLB retail for a discount price - $39.99.

Forthermore, this was hinted at in the press release announcing the deal with Take Two (emphasis mine):

A significant part of Take-Two's strategy is to gain market share by offering extremely high quality products, supported with aggressive marketing and value pricing. "We plan to expand the audience for ESPN Videogames' sports titles by applying a variety of proven marketing techniques," said Mr. Eibeler. "We are also adding the compelling element of value pricing to this high quality line, creating a significant point of differentiation for both core and casual gamers. We believe the recent console price cuts are bringing new consumers into the interactive entertainment market, and sports titles will be a meaningful part of their software purchases. Finally, with Sony and Microsoft not publishing sports titles this holiday season, there is a significant competitive opportunity for ESPN Videogames titles. The combination of these factors should expand the overall market for sports titles."

$19.99 seems extreme, but it will certainly help sales, I'd expect.

No other sites price has changed, not even ESPNVideogames.


EDIT: Also, ESPN 2k4 can no longer be found at gamestop. I think someone made a huge mistake.

And in the "short description" it says "ESPN NFL Football" and not "ESPN NFL 2005".
