Xbox 360 Price Cuts

The xbox 360 will be having drastic price cuts in the USA (following recent price cuts in Japan).

Arcade will now sell at the magic number $199. The reason its called a magic number is because this is the price point where people really start buying the console, as shown in previous generations. This also makes the arcade version the cheapest next gen console with the Wii being priced at $249.

60GB pro will sell at $299.

Elite will sell at $399.

I really cannot understand the reason for the extra 100 dollars for an elite system. I have one and theres nothing THAT special about them although it does look very nice next to my black 32" LCD TV screen in my room :D.

The Elite has better hardware such as bigger HDD and it's very hard for it to get RROD.

More price cuts :O I wouldn't mind them lowering in the UK :(

another way americans are better than brits :)
jk

They're just doing price cuts because your exchange rate sucks. :P


£1 - $2, we rock kai?

im pretty sure its the opposite, but im not sure. so i dont care.

Nope, if I went with £250,000 to America and exchange it all I'd have $500,000+ or even more because I think it's £1/$3 and we'd be way richer. ;)

i think you just proved what i was saying. you just saying that if you exchange E1 youd get $2.

Mkay? Yeah the Elite looks nice to Black High Gloss 32" TV's :D

Yknow why that is? The fall update is coming and they're encouraging people to join for that reason. They're just getting ready for a huge advertising scheme about the fall update, which is just massive.

UK will get it soon enough.

How much do you think it'll cost to get one shipped from the US? :o

About 20 quid probably, if you get it done by UPS. Xbox's arent region-free though are they?
