199.99 should sell a lot more xboxes now. I wonder if Nintendo willd drop gamecube down to 99$ I sure would go out and buy one at that price:D

Sony is showing some big brass ones by not jumping in right away with their own price cut. I love the line "We have never dropped our prices because of market desperation" Way to stick it to \'em :laughing:

Two other things:

PS2 is still worth every penny

A bunch of good PS2 games were reduced to $20 recently, not including all the bargin PSone AAA titles. May not mean much to most of you cutting edge gamers but it will greatly help sway the balance until Sony does decide to drop the price of their console.

Quddus, if Nintendo decides to lower the price of the Gamecube, it is expected to not happen until the holiday season, and it is expected that the new price would be $149...

didnt Sony find a way to make the chips smaller? I believe I saw a post on that somewhere......so they might not take the hit you think and with the BBA and HDD coming out soon you would be paying around 300 bucks with the PS2/BBA (45-50 bucks for the BBA) and HDD (probaly around the 50 dollar mark)....Just a guess......

My thread about just that ;)

Back in early April, Sony announed that they had reduced costs of production by a fair amount, but the price drop would occur later...  It\'s been a month now, and still no price drop, but your idea seems to be as good as any as to why they wouldn\'t drop the price (and continue to trounce the competition).

Actaully I meant they would drop the price  about 100 bucks to compensate for the BBA and the HDD.  My BBA is already Pre-ordered along with Tekken 4.
