Euro 360 price drop

[oli]

BBC NEWS | Business | Microsoft cuts Europe Xbox price

finally Europe getting some sort of drop..and the new of the Elite being released at 299 pounds is good as well , hopefully we should see sales boom with it at that price and all the AAA titles coming out there will be some good bundle deals.

[Vernon48]

The premium/pro is going to be retailing at £250 right?

[oli]

yeah 'tis indeed

Microsoft also revealed plans to launch a larger, 120 gigabyte model, the Xbox Elite, costing 449.99 euros in the eurozone

Thats odd seeing as the Elite is selling for 509.99euros

There's a Euro 360? Oh great! Another version to saturate the market. What does this model come with? Besides the higher price point!

[Kona Palangi]

This is a shock to you? It's not as if Euro gamers were paying less before the Elite release. They have always paid nearly double what we pay.

[hollywood21639]

No. It's called sarcasm. A jab at the Euro gamers in fun & jest.

You will get the wrath of Shane here soon. It's inevitable.

yeah its a blast the way we have to pay far more then you's for identical products, MS are grubby robbing bastards, now shut your fat mouth and go supersize something.

Ease up there catfish! I never said it was fair.

Well, lets not forget MS is based in US anyway, hence the cheap prices etc.

I beleive Australia exports its beef and meat etc to the world. We eat steak around 4-5 times per week here, as its soooooooo cheap.

But, I beleive in the UK, and US, that meat is not that cheap.

So we have cheap steak, well, thats a good thing.

I like the supersize thing. Weren't the fattest people in the US from texas they said? I always thought everyone in texas rode horses around town and wore spurs.

Much like the US folk seem to think Kangaroos bob around ones front garden daily.

Well yes, they do, depending on where in Australia your from.

In Ireland and the UK all our own meat/steak is eaten, very very little red meat is imported. In fact Ireland and UK are known for having the best quailty cattle stock in EU market.

Not sure how this turned into a red meat discussion, but we export quite a bit ourselves, and because it's corn fed, our beef is among the best in the world.

Two words: Aberdeen Angus



It is about time we got a price drop, but it is not enough. You can buy a Premium 360 for £230 on play.com...so it's nothing new.

Two words; eschew obfuscation

Props to Karma!!
