Well this is odd indeed as I just went to a few stores and some are selling the box at $149.95 [ as some special offer deal ] . Gamestop has it marked in the window at $149.95 but I was unable to get in before they closed to ask them what the deal was . EBX also had the unit priced at $149.95 with some sort of a rebate deal . I am not really sure what is going on just yet but it does seem strange thus far that some are selling at a reduced price . I will try to find out more this week but it might be tough as my friend that works for M$ has said they are being very tight lipped about what price structure is coming .

OT : on a different note it seems that EB is selling the GameCube at $49.95 if you trade in a PSX with 10 games .
