I really think Microsoft are making a huge mistake here.
While they're loosing even more money by allowing them to go for an even cheaper price, what they should be doing it using the money they have to buy-up some decent 3rd Party Developers to create some stunning and exclusive games for their Box only.
It costs something like £325 to make just one X-Box, apparently...
Look at how much they're loosing NOW! Even if Gates is in-charge.
Another price-drop isn't really going to change things, except for the fact that the X-Box will start to appear as a real joke to us all.
Let's see that n00b from the X-Box forum defend his console now!! :D
But this price drop does make it better for me....
When the new Championship Manager game comes out, I can get it with the console for only £200! Nice.

Sorry, mashed wrong buttons in my 1 armed fumblings.
So, friday we get more price cuts. Great stuff :^D
Thus PS2 - most expensive, a few exclusives, but also oldest and most dated. Has the first online launch, though not by much.
Is more of a pr success, but if that ensures significant sales now, i give up on humanity.
Cube - cheapest, but lacks dvd. Best line-up of exclusive titles, IMO.
With just £30 saving on the xbox, we could see a rough ride for ninty unless they retaliate with their own cuts. Still, varying need for the dvd and very strong exclusives should keep ninty in the game.
Xbox - Better dvd than the ps2, better tech under the hood, but probably a worse image. Loses ground to the cube on price and games.
Well, i can feel the ache on my wallet, if it were'nt for the gates associations that seem to continue to plague the machine, i think the xbox would move on to dominate the gaming market. Still, i expect big success, but..not to its full potential.
*The analysis is, naturally, just my opinion on the situation. If anyone genuinely disagrees, feel free to say so, but if you're a pre-pubescent fanboy with nothing important to say, go start your own topic to spam up with meaningless crap that nobody wants to read.
Thanks.

This are nothing. You ask gerrid, he can get you XOBX for $3.25 down black market. It is cheap because made from bones. And shoe. You need shoe?
