In many major stores in the Uk they are sticking to rougly the same price as when the machine was released. The cheapest i have found was £275, but that was solely a PSX2, without joystick, games, memory card etc. Does anyone expect the price to drop soon or do you think they will leave it until a rival machine is release? the reason i ask this is because i am unsure whether it is worth waiting for a drop in price or just buy one now. thanks in advance for any help.

Also where would you guys recommend buying from in the Uk?

In the U.S., I would be bold enough to guess Christmas time.

The Playstation 2 should be droping there prices soon. Xbox and Game cube are soon coming out. But the Playstation 2 is in so high in demand that i think the prices will be the same yet.

yea my guess is it will drop sometime around this fall - maybe november - thats when mommies and daddies start their christmas shopping

but don\'t expect it to happen over the summer or anything like that - as for what the price will be - my guess is it will drop from 300 bucks to 200 or maybe just maybe 150 - to me 150 is doubtful though

the price drop would most likely happen during X-Mas that is if SONY starts using the newer chipset..and start gaining some profit..XBOX hasnt set a solid release date but as of now its Fall 2001..but its not solid because Microsoft will has to settle the lawsuit about the copyright to the name for XBOX [Microsoft\'s XBOX vs. XBOX Technologies]

so the best time for a price drop is XMas..and dont forget if the XBOX is going to retail for more then $300..SONY has no reason to drop the price if the XBOX is over $300

I\'m new to the console gaming thing, and I was wondering do all consoles drop in price so soon after a release? Seems as though everybody on this board is in agreement that this will happen sometime this year.

I would think that Sony would keep the price the same since they haven\'t had problems with people shelling out the dough for the console.
