So?
The cube doesnt have fees to pay to the DVD forum/consurtioum thingy like the ps2, or a harddrive like the 'box which is why its cheaper than them to begin with (I know it isnt now)
So by costs of materials, it should be cheaper.

Not getting desperate mate....they want more people to have the chance to have such a wonderful piece of kit and are cutting their own threats to make people happy!

It's kindness and charitable, not scrabbling for bucks
