Xbox is now selling for $149? WOW! I knew I should have waited. Wonder how long before PS2 drops there price too again. Look out gamecube the big boys are coming to play in your price range.


Could only be a local sale as I havent found that price anywhre else.

Yes tricky you are right, thats why i clarified and will again. Blockbuster is running a special : Buy any console and get 5 free game rentals. Xbox and Gamecube are listed at $149.99 and PS2 at $199.99.

Could be a typo in their add for the Xbox, if that's the case a lot of people will get a great deal!

In your September issue of the Games @BLOCKBUSTER(R) E-Newsletter, the price for a Microsoft Xbox(TM) game system was incorrectly listed. The price for a Microsoft Xbox system at a participating BLOCKBUSTER store is $199.99.

We apologize for any inconvenience or rise in your blood pressure due to excitement that this caused.

Thank you.

The official x-box price in the UK is now £159.99 , cheaper than the PS2(£199.99) but still more than the GameCube(£129.99).
