    Default Official GC, Xbox, PS2 price drop date?

    Anyone got some hard info on this yet? I'm planning on trading in my boring cube at Software Etc. for the $90 trade in and buying a platinium at the lower $100 price. But to do it I need a solid date as I don't want to not be able to play PSO.

    Last I heard, those price drop rumors had no truth behind them.

    Yup, Voodoo Extreme - the only "source" for this so-called price drop - already pulled the story from their site. Sorry gang, tuck it away, 'cause it ain't real, it ain't happening, and it's all a lie.

    Maybe late next year, but around Xmas? Forget the hell out of it.

    We're still getting the rumor around my Funco from home office "that if anything should happen this holiday season, it will be the day after Thanksgiving. Be prepared with good customer service [yadda yadda yadda]"

    While not NEW decks, EB is selling Refurbished X-Boxes for $150 with warranty reinstated on them. You don't get the Type-S Controller though.

    my friend told me he heard that funco is selling the 3 systems for 50 bucks less used.
    Somebody once told me to get a life.

    I told them I sold it for money to buy video games.

    Maybe a Gebesis,but not the new systems.

    There is no real need for a price drop.Sure,it would be cool but Sony Nintendo and M$ can still sell tons of systems at the prices they are at now.Maybe later,but I thikn not now. x_x :grin:

    If the NGC price did drop to 100 bucks, you probably wouldn't get 90 on a trade in. The trade in price would drop as well.

    He works at Gamestop. Probably a trade-in. Or he's used his 30% discount (it was this weekend).

    Read the whole thing man, the trade in RIGHT NOW is $90.00 If I knew for sure that the price drop was happening this Friday or Saturday I could trade it in On Thanksgiving or hell tomorrow and get a Platinum cube the first day of the price drop for $100+tax.. I'm trying to read tomorrows paper for the winning team..
