Console's down in price?

[donald]

What do you think? Is the other consoles going to go down in price after the

release of the xbox360? You know, to keep the competition going!

Just a thought that popped into my head.

Please write your opinion on this!

Hey nice to see you back. Hpw's the marketing business.
And no, they will not.
In any case buy Psychonauts, you will love it. Oh and PoP3 is also coming.

Actually, I haven't been that much away, I just don't have so much to post about.

Yeah the marketing buisness is going pretty well.

About Psychonauts, it should be best on consoles, and I only have a Pc. About pop3, it looks interesting,but I haven't played number 1 or 2. So I might do that first.

I am might going to buy matrix: path of neo even trough it got bad reviews, it is still matrix, and I really liked enter the matrix!

Edit: I might wish a PS2 for christmas, because an xbox360 is to expansive to wish for christmas.

Why not a gamecube, it's way cheaper. In any case I have psychonauts for pc and it played great, absolutely great. the previouse versions of PoP are very cheap now, under 10,-.
Oh and do not forget to dload a gba emulator and try zelda the minish cap, super mario superstar saga, and metroid fusion.

I would imagine the XBox will drop by £20 in the first quarter of the new year, surely that is inevitable? And when that happens, the PS2 will be forced to match it

I might try to download that gba emulator, sounds interesting!

(BTW, I need some game to wish for christmas but I just can't decide one.)

Just dload the demo for psychonauts and try it. Seriously since mgs I have not played a better game, better IMO then PoP, then BG&E, then GTA:VC, better then HL2.

 

[destrukt]

every product goes down in price, i don't see why this thread was made ..

Sorry Grey Fox, but I seriously doubt psychonauts can beat beyond good and evil, but that dosen't mean it can't be a really great game.(Beyond Good And Evil was just a really really great game! )
By the way, I have already completed the demo to psychonaust.

The Playstation 2 just went down from $179.99 CDN to $164.99 CDN at Futureshop. The Xbox hasn't gone down.

I thought Microsoft announced they will drop prices annually... anyways, that is what most companies do nowa days.

I would really like if the ps2 got down in price before christmas! I just really wants to play MGS3.(and a little RE4) I have played
mgs 1 on ps1,
mgs 2:Substance on pc,
and would really like to play mgs3, but it is ps2 exclusive.

BTW, how can it be that an xbox and ps2 costs almost the same, when the ps2 haves alot older hardware compared to a xboxs hardware?

Becuase the PS2 had a huge head start and has a lot more games available.


The game systems will have lower prices periodicaly but they will only go so low. Regardless if it is the latest in technology, it still has a lot of electronics inside. that stuff costs money.

The systems will reach a certain point and they can't lower it anymore. They will either continue to sell them at that price or stop manufacturing them altogether.

Sometimes they re-release the system in a new more effecient chipset and case. Sometimes they remove or add features. Sony has redesinged the old PS1 and the PS2 into a smaller, different look. The ps2 now includes a built in Modem and much smaller design.

The xbox already had a modem AND a hard drive and is more powerful, but like I said the PS2 has many more games available and Playstation name recognition so that explains the equivalent prices
