Pardon, I'm mistaken. Microsoft's website says that a new Xbox is $150. Refurbished machines can be found for anywhere from $110 to $130. That's NOT less than the Gamecube, which is $100 new and $70 used. It's definitely the cheapest console available. (PStwo is available for $130 new and $100 used. The original model of PS2 can't be found new for the most part, but a refurb is also $100.)
