"Xbox Price Drop?"

Ive been hearing about a price drop to around £100 on October 14th.

But only one site has published this, EuroGamer.

I know we might be in for a price drop leading upto Christmas, but in October?

Anyone else heard of a price drop this soon (now that GC will have dropped on October 1st)?

confirmed where?

COnfirmed from my mate who works at GAME

Come Xmas surely there'll be some attractively priced bundles worthy of purchase... but wait, I have no money.

Heheh!

My local GAME are hilarious.

"Hi, can you tell me if you have Skies of Arcadia for the GameCube in stock?"

"Just a minute I will go and check with the manager"

"Ye sure"

"Hi again, I am sorry no such game exists for the GameCube, do you mean PS2?"

"er... yes it does exist. Its a port of the Dreamcast classic"

"Nope sorry never heard of it"

*Walks out laughing out loud*

any dates?

No sorry, I don't bat for that team ;)

Microsoft have confirmed that they won't follow suit with an Xbox price-cut.

Don't believe them. They said that 4 DAYS before I paid £300 for my Xbox.I had to wait 12 weeks for a decent reward package.

It would have made sense, now that Sony and Nintendo are generating massive publicity, for them to announce a cut and steal some thunder. Instead, they announced there would be no cut. Considering the point in time, I think they're sincere.

i'm with ya, ÂLŠ†ÂÎR. the person (sounds like a bloke) sounds like a punk or something. whenever i phone up to ask about a game/dvd/music etc they're like all propper about it. they've never said "nope" to me before, or "never heard of it". when working in a place like that i thought they're meant to have knowledge of what they sell.

when i bought KOTOR recently the bloke totally knew of it. he said "we've gotta wait until christmas for this one"
