Thats kind of like telling people to go out and buy an N64, or Sega... Their prices dropped to "near nothing", but its not really beneficial to purchase them now. Much like the ps2 and xbox, their market will completely diminish once ps3 and 360 emerge(yes, i know the 360 is already released, but it has massive problems - awaiting v2 before purchasing)
Well I have a lot of friend who don't own either (PC game junkies) and they only want games that are out (I.E Halo) and thye don't want to pay 200$ for one or two games.
