It hasn`t appeared on here, but seems like a damn fine bargain to me...if it comes off!
I would`ve posted in consoles, but it is also a bargain!
Lets see what happens on Friday!
Cheers

For the benefit of those who aren`t DVD Forums members, the thread is about a rumour that the PS2 will be reduced to £99 to steal the GameCube`s thunder.
To me, it doesn`t sound that far fetched - it`s just common sense. If the brand new GameCube costs £129, the PS2 at £199 doesn`t seem such an attractive proposition any more.
I think a similar thing happened when the SNES came out; Sega were forced to drastically reduce the price of the Mega Drive to keep it competitive.
The only question is: if this rumour is true, where does this leave Microsoft?

Dixons, Currys etc have been advertising the PS2 at £99 all week, but there is a proviso (isn`t there always), it`s only that price when bought with 5 games. Total selling price, around £300, not so cheap all in one go. Also the X-Box has been advertised as dropping to £199 on Friday, £100 off the price.

Yes X-Box is £199 on Friday, if you already have them you can get 2 free games and a free controller from MS.

I`ll be almost dissapointed if it doesn`t appear @ £99 come Friday. I hope SONY do this. It`d be in their best intersest because thousands of people like myself will go out and buy one and buy a couuple of games to go with it. Can you imagine how many games will be sold if that goes ahead!

No bargain yet, so moved to Consoles Forum, where you are free to speculate :-)
