    Default Price Drop On The XBOX from the 11/4

    RRP coming down to £129.99

    Getting rid of stock for the new machine (XBOX 1.5) in May or just matching the GameCube?

    silly question from an xbox newbie but whats the score about the modding the V1.5, will it require a new chip or can the older one upgraded to make it work?

    Hey! Leave the Gamecube alone, it is and always will be the best console on the market.

    FACT!

    Yep everywhere, pc world, dixons, comet the lot all £129.99 as of today.

    oh and in answer to the other unrelated question in this thread about a version 1.5 there is no such thing, it's actually a version 1.2 with the 256k tsop inside them instead of the 1mb.

    The PS2 could be given away, I still would not touch it!!!

    Ok so I'm not telling the truth, but your console purchases should be

    1. GameCube

    2 Xbox

    3 Sega Master System

    4 Vectrex

    hmm PS2 not in that list lol

    totally disagree with you there

    i happen to have all 3 and the one that gets used the most is m8 ps2, i fu(kin love it, obviously dont play the cube as much coz i havent got as many games.

    as for the xbox then there is only a few good games for it, i dont really play xbox much anymore, until a new game comes out i really like like rayman 3

    Couple of things

    1. Nex XBOX's come with the Controller-S as standard

    2. I will know more about the new XBOX 1.5 by Monday and will post as soon as I have any info.

    3. XBOX price drop by MS was due to a possible PS2 price drop and/or to cash in on the Easter market - I doubt very much that MS read the rumour that goes on in DF so they probably know something we don't
