xbox 360 price revealed

check it

im goin with the $299 one, i don't need all those other options

but that 20GB detachable hard drive is lookin mighty nice...

Im not going with any.
But if that price is converted into pounds then thats a really good price, im guessing around £160-£175. But they'll probably just swap the $ for a £ and make it £299.
EDIT: i just saw its £209.

$300 WITHOUT the optional equipment? Well, that blows. Oh well, halo 3 will convince people regardless..

was PS2 over XBOX 360 the correct thing to do? HECK YES!

£50 OVER PRICED BAR$TEDS.
I seriously cant beleive that. Considering this gens games are now £20-£30 and 20 quid extra is pathetic.
By the way i got those prices from here http://shop.game.net/xbox360/
I hope those are just estimates.
I am an admitted Xbox hater but now i may splash out on one of these as by winter time i'll be pretty loaded and im willing to give the 360 a chance because it seems to be getting more exclusives then the original xbox. Hello Mormon :D

I imagine that will be the price of Xbox games. This is where the Revo will come out on top though, hopefully they will offer cheaper (notice, not cheap) £29.99-£34.99 RRP games, rather than £45-50 which both the 360 and PS3 will offer IMO.

At best I'm only going to be able to afford one console, and at the moment the 360 has failed to impress me. £210 is alot of money to spend for a console which is not even 'fully loaded'.

It's not worth getting the 299 version.... no hd...

if u buy the 299 ver and the hd seperatly, then it's 399, so just get the full package....

I doubt it, GAME often get their pricings wrong, originally PSP was £45 now its £30.

The PSP has already struggled against the superior fans of Nintendo's system - you guessed it the DS - so naturally they couldn't have games online for £45 (which would basically mean they were £50 in the shops). It has been expected for a long time that the next-gen could be terribly expensive. The consoles aren't exactly cheap but are still going at a loss so therefore, Microsoft will make up for that with expensive games. I wouldn't be suprised to see them even rise from the GAME price. I hope not anyway!

Ahh, the holiday cheer! Getting the $399 version.
