I agree but thats going to be in about 2 years or so.. PlayStation 1 didn't drop until around 2 years later.. If XBox come out at $250 or $200 then PlayStation 2 will be forced to drop also but what is the chance on that? Dolphin? Forget about them.

I work at a game developing company and from what we (and others) saw at E3, Xbox sucks, Nintendo rocks...will debut at $199, PS2 will drop to $279, and Xbox will be $299.

you can also find this info on techtv.com but i'm too lazy to provide links.

My friend works for a game company also and I still follow the console news world. I despise XBox and MS but they are not what you think it will turn out. XBox is having trouble with its launch and they did pull back on release date. This only give them more power and especially when Bill Gates is announcing his new born everywhere he goes. (His little fetis and he is carrying it) PlayStation have a very strong standing whether XBox succeed or die. If Nintendo continues with its party games, they will also keep their standing.

I don't know which publisher you are with but my friend is with one of the three publishing company. Their company rejected XBox offer completely because about 80 - 90 percent of the company hates MS. They already have the other two. I am speaking out of the best of my memory so don't quote me on everything. They have Sega since they stopped Dreamcast.

At the end, XBox will be competing with PlayStation. PlayStation have already lost a bit from the first launch of PlayStation 2. Will PlayStation lower it's price to destroy XBox?

Just to point something out:

It is not such a bad idea Gamecube saving people $100 not putting in a DVD drive because people that already have a dvd player don't need another, BUT the DVD drive is not only for playback but is also used because a much VASTER game can be put on a DVD.

Not much good games in Playstation2. The machine is expensive already. You can get the same titles on the Dreamcast which is 100 bucks, 200 fully loaded.

Amen! Right on! I think it's funny that most people who I know who have a PS2 aren't gamers at all hehe, you know what I mean, people who just buy stuff because it seems 'cool' to have and brag about. While on the other hand most 'true' gamers I know can't even afford the PS2, what a shame.

I read that the GameCube will be able to play DVD discs, but only games that are DVD based and not DVD Movies. Also seen they're going to be on smaller discs (not sure if it's as small as a &quot;mini-disc&quot;, but definitely smaller than regular sized CD/DVD's).

The coupon does not work for ps2. It is only for computers and software only. Next time read the fine print.
