Is Circuit city and CompUSA dumb?

Are they? Because I was just looking at their ads and they are selling the PS2 for $299, still! I am surprised since I saw it at Record Town and that store that use to be Babbages for $199!

ads were submitted before the price cuts were known? which doesn't make sense since ps2 cuts were a day earlier... perhaps MS let distributors retailers know before the general public.

ElFenix is correct....


and it's "are," not "is."

They're slick if they can sell those units @ $299.

I've seen those price cuts ever since weds at the mall. How much time before hand is the ad made?

The Best Buy ad said $299 also but their websites say $199.

MS had been planning the drop for almost a month and had notified all retailers and when Sony caught wind they lowered, although they wont be able to get out the ads and tv commercials for roughly 2 weeks. Ads are usually printed 3 weeks to 1 month before they are inserted
