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?

    The console prices haven't been that ridiculous, it's the $49.00 games that keep alot of people (like me) from getting/playing these new consoles. Sony had a nice deal with the PSone "Greatest Hits" for $20.00, but when you buy a couple of 50.00$ games that aren't very entertaining, you tend not to bother buying the ones that may actually be worth it and your $99 console collects dust.
