who would pay 100 bucks more at 299 to get a 20GB/60GB when they can get the arcade for only 199????

is Microsoft really going to try to convince people that their 20GB/60GB harddrive is worth 100 dollars?

Microsoft isn't looking for hardcore gamers on this one. This price drop is to steal sales from the Wii so average parents won't know the difference and think that a 20GB/60GB for $100 is a great value.

The big question is: Will the U$ 199 Arcade get some of the Ps2 market?

Didn't MS announce a 60GB Upgrade pack with a few months of Live and a headset a few weeks ago? Seems like the perfect upgrade pack to the $199 arcade.

I thought that was only rumoured

I think they are focusing on shutting down sales of the PS2 more then anything. This price drop will do more to kill the PS2 off then affect the Wii, although it may affect it somewhat.
