Xbox Price Drop To $149 Now Official

Posted by simoniker on from the less-money-less-problems dept.

bpitzer writes "It's official - Microsoft is cutting the price on the Xbox to $149, effective tomorrow, according to CNET News. Now, will Sony follow suit on the PS2? And how long until the next price drop? Maybe at this year's E3, making three in a row?" We previously reported on rumors to this effect, and other readers point to the official Microsoft press release, sporting a quote from noted tech analyst P.Diddy: "[I] believe that the system's cultural influence as a social entertainment brand has only just begun."

    It's not worth more than that. Gamecube and PS2 have all the good games these days.

    Also, having a green X in my living room is kind of creepy.

    Your PC with graphics that "blow away" the ps2 was only $65, including the game?
