The DVDTalk source for Console prices....and when they will drop in price
Ok so this is a pretty straight forward and simple thread. I will post what the current price of current consoles are...and I might even have a lowest used price as well. As we are inundated with "When is the PS2 going to drop from $300?' popping up all the time, i hope this thread will eliminate that problem. I will post lowest used prices to the best of my knowledge. Update me if you know a new or used lower price for any of the consoles.

One Gamestop told me that if/when they have a used XBOX they will charge $279. Of course that may differ between stores. Does anyone know if EBGames.com has any used consoles in stock...I cant access due to a firewall at work.

I read in the most recent Video Business magazine that PS2 will have a price drop definetly by Xmas 2002 if not sooner.
It will probably drop to $199.
I just picked up a GameCube for my 9 y/o son and will get the PS2 for myself this Xmas if that price drop happens.
