Xbox Price Drop
 

Only $21, but still fairly important.

Thank God. I'm buying an Xbox soon so it'll save me some money.

Didn't they just announce there would be no price drop?

That's what I thought too. But I think that was just a reporter at the conference answering questions, not an official Microsoft rep.

they did.

but knowing them they said that thinking sony wouldnt. and they were ready at any moment to drop it if and when sony does.

sony didnt do it at first day. they prolly thought it wasn't going to happen. *shrug*

so the ps2 is 179 too? come on nintendo, get on the ball!!!

Not a bad price, perhaps an X-Box lies in my future...

Is that 179 for the segagt/jsrf bundle?

Sega GT/JSRF bundle is long over.

I would buy the X-Box if dropped to $150. $179 still is too much for an X-Box.

Isn't the GCN already 150? thats pretty damn cheap if it is.

yeah, but you can still buy it at circuit city around here... i work there, and the new box is out too though, so take your pick.

i would be VERY tempted if they threw in Halo

then they wouldn't be making any moeny from the Xbox. Thats the only way X-Box is surviving :)

oops my bad, Microsoft isn't making any money from the XBox

There's 2 reasons why that's not going to happen.

1) The same reason why halo is still 50$. It sells almost 1 for 1 with every box, they're not going to throw away a sale like that.

2) It's rated M. No M rated game has ever been a pack in and this won't be the first. Forcing people to buy an M rated game can cut off a lot of sales to yonger demographics.
