		Starting next month, the PS2 will go for £170 ($261) and the Xbox for £160 ($246). Here's a short article....

		And the Gamecube is STILL cheaper than both

		Not true...with the price cuts, the Gamecube is now the MOST expensive console in Europe. They're surely making money hand over fist. PS Newsflash! Sega is STILL making games for the Xbox.

		How is the Gamecube the most expensive? It launched at £129 here. If the above is true then it's still the cheapest.

		Really? I thought it launched at 199? I guess my information is in correct...sorry. BTW, Sega is still making games for the Xbox.

		Speaking of prices... I saw at our new Wal-Mart here that they had new Xbox consoles for $190. I thought the $200 was mandated. Or is it just a strong suggestion? At any rate I was surprised to see it any different from everyone else.
