US Console Price Drops Widely Rumored

Posted by simoniker on from the how-long-before-they-pay-us? dept.

After being rumored on newsgroups and messageboards for a while, larger news sources like IGN.com are reporting the likely imminent price drop for all 3 major consoles in the US. This would make the Playstation 2 $149, the Xbox $149, and the Gamecube just $99. If true, will this spur you into buying one or all of these consoles?

    then play windwaker for an hour, metroid prime for an hour, then never use it again, like my PS2 and Dreamcast. i'm more for computer gaming myself.

    S-N-K.

    Each game cost half the console, and when the system died out, the games that were still coming out were MORE EXPENSIVE than the console itself. JOY!

    Oh yeah, the PC geeks are _so_ much cooler than the people who own consoles.
