X-Box cheaper than PS2 now
 
That's right I went to the city today and to my surprise was a huge sign saying "X-Box now $399"
Thats cheaper than the PS2 which is $499.
I think I'de prefer an xbox now.

It's actual $395 bucks at electronics boutique, and the ps2 is $470 Bucks.

WOW!

Only £150 (GBP) for an Xbox there?!?!
And £185 (GBP) for a PS2!
They both cost £199 (GBP) here!


Everybody hates the UK *crys*

I want to move to the UK, if it soothes you. As for prices: Ouch.

XBox is actually cheaper than PS2 in here as well.

PS2 : 349 €
XBox : 325 €

I'll buy one (XBox) when I've got enough money...

EDIT: Cool! I just found out that Crash is on XBox as well! :D Nice... Though the games are getting poorer and poorer, it's still Crash and I've got the others as well. Wow... now I've already got two games I want on XBox... :rolleyes:

Stop the revelry
 
You are rejoicing over the pluging prices? I am bemoaning them. Is'nt this the classic gaming red flag, drastically lowering prices to lure customers because your wares arn't selling worth a shit? This is just the first of many signs that the Xbox is on the slippery slope. Also, where are the commercial blitz and nonstop microsoft campaigning I have heard about. Money that would well be spent on an anti everybodyelse/pro xbox ad swarm is being chucked away so people can go "Oh, the XBOX is fifty dollars cheaper, maybe I'll buy one after I save enough money cause that PS2 sure costed a hell of a lot." Come on Bill, seize the opportunity and strong arm the comp with your deep, resource filled pockets. Don't twiddle your thumbs with petty price "slashes" This is the beginning of the end.

Money to brainwash! I'm for it. Where do I sign? *grin*

Yea, but you're right. Microsoft aren't perhaps... changing their approach...? *intense shudder* It's a conspiracy, and I don't even know what it's aiming at!
