Why is everyone complaining about refunds? Everything depreciates. I'm not surprised the Xbox is dropping its price quickly. The price of computer parts of course depreciate very fast. I think I will be the last one to complain about some kind of refund. It would be nice if they did that but back to reality guys... there's a slim chance.

Exactly JohnB. The most you could hope for with electronics is a 30 day price guarantee which most stores actually have if you ask. Otherwise all is fair in retail.

This is also why we NEED 3 consoles in the market. Look how long Sony kept the PS2 at $300. They didn't even budge for a year and a half. Now that the Xbox is stealing some thunder they lower the price. To keep competitive MS does the same. Had the Xbox come out at the same time as the PS2 I bet we would have seen a price drop a year ago on the PS2.

The funny part is Microsoft was finally breaking even with the Xbox but looks like now they will be losing $80-$100 again.

How come a person that posted saying it will drop by Friday is getting all the responses like "alright, can't wait". When myself and another person post an hour ago that the price cut is already done, I even provided USA and Canadian buying links!

Hehe, craziness i tell ya!

Will there be a drop in game prices too? I've heard that Sony lowered the MSRP on their games to 39. Just curious, this would be a great way to save some bucks!:cool:

I feel a little cheated by the price drop but I'm not suprised by it. I think it would be nice to have the same deal the Brits got though... Didn't they get compensation for the price cut in Europe??

Don't expect a deal like that. For one it was only out a month in Europe, and second it was retailing for alot more than it was in the States to begin with.
