PS2 Price May Fall, Gamecube Staying Put

mrquackers writes: "Looks like the price war in the console gaming world is starting a bit early. With Microsoft expected to announce a drop in the price of the Xbox to $199 next Monday at E3, Sony's rumored to be cutting PlayStation 2 prices as early as tomorrow. Meanwhile, Nintendo says it won't be making ANY price cuts before or during the show -- though it's not ruling one out for later in the year." Update: 05/14 18:01 GMT by T : An anonymous reader points out this CNN story indicating that the PS2 cut is official.

    Yes, you are correct. I actually went to the store to probably buy an Xbox, then they told me I would need to buy 3 games + Controller to buy one. I immediatley said "Damn Microsoft and its evil tactics!" and didn't buy one and never will. The main thing I wanted one for was to play GTA3, but it looks like it will be out on the PC before the Xbox anyways.

    It's almost like you walk into a store, and if you want an Xbox, they take you to a back room, put a blindfold on you, and tell you to bend over. Then, when you feel that 18 inches wringling up your pant leg, you KNOW you shouldn't have chosen microsof, but it's too late. You just take your raping and get on with it.

    well, not me. I haven't bought anything Microsoft in a while, and am tired of the "little extas" that Microsoft throws in.
