I agree with Azuma, for the most part.

I don't see why there's so much commotion about the price drop. Yes, it dropped a whole 100$, but it's not like the Cube was released yesterday, either. If anything, the ps2 went from 300$ to 200$, or maybe even less at the moment. The difference is practically the same.

And I completely disagree with the notion of Nintendo getting "desperate". Yes - it doesn't have many games, but many of the ones it does have are really worth playing. For example, a lot of the games for the ps2 nowadays are boring and repetitive. What the X-Box has going for it are its great sports games and shooters (which I think aren't even all that great... way too much blood, imo).

Seriously, the ps2 should be free. I mean, damn.

I don't consider myself a fanboy of Nintendo, given that my "favorite" console is the ps2 along with the repair tools. However, I think Nintendo is an excellent company, and I think that if they dropped their prices on the Cube, it was for a good reason.
