PS2 and Xbox price drops expected soon... Lazard Capital, a financial advisory firm believes that Sony will cut the price of their PS2 by the end of the month. This price drop is also expected to fall by around $20 to $129. They have the idea that possibly by 2007 Sony could cut the price by another amount to $99. The company also believes that the price of the Xbox (original) is expected to fall in retaliation. However this price drop might not increase sales as the delivery of the Xbox is becoming slower and fewer. A price drop could increase some sales, however in order to see a great gain, current generation software firms will also have to cuts their prices. This is already apparent by companies like EA who are cutting prices by up to 20%. All of Lazard's thoughts are in direct contrast with what Ken Kutaragi said at the Playstation Business briefing in March, where it was stated no price drops would happen. Wonder which of these will really come into reality?
well around where i live i have seen the x-box for as low as 130 aus brand new , but still not as easy offer to find
Well of course theirs going to be a drop in price. With the new generation of game consoles out and or coming out, the amount of people wanting a xbox or playstation 2 is dropping severely and when that happens theyll drop the price in hopes to bring some people to buy more considering the price change. Its like when something is in high demand theyll raise the price because they know alot of people want one and will pay pretty much anything to get it.
shouldnt this be in the gaming section? and dont get the new ps2s they have massive heating problems, i have one so i would know
i can get an xbox for about $60, working condition. I can also get broken xboxs for about $20 and fix them, and sell them for $100. Modded xboxs can be purchased for $130+. These include larger HD's, lighting, soft mod kits, custom paint jobs, custom cut cases(see through top, watch the disc spinning). Paying retail blows.... the "price drop" is still more than i pay for better stuff.
Lol its mostly xbox...I have one and I'm thinking of getting a PS2, anyone know what's the price of it now?
i have an OLD (really old) ps2, but i might buy a new one if i can find a perfect condition used one or a really cheap new one...so i hope the price in games and the console is dropped
lol go figure. The gamcube dropped to like 50$ easy, now the PS2 and Xbox will be worth nothing in a few years, now is the time for everyone to buy them that don't have them.
