I love MS but they need to get it together on this one. These damn periferals cost WAY too much.

I can buy a linksys "N" Router for that much money.]]>Mar 10th 2008 12:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/10/european-xbox-360-price-cuts-officially-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/10/european-xbox-360-price-cuts-officially-official/Mar 10th 2008 12:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/10/european-xbox-360-price-cuts-officially-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/10/european-xbox-360-price-cuts-officially-official/Mar 10th 2008 12:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/10/european-xbox-360-price-cuts-officially-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/10/european-xbox-360-price-cuts-officially-official/
If you like to take it in the butt, then the PS3.

If you want a large variety of Games, the Xbox.

If you want better immersion and interactivity, the Wii.]]>Mar 10th 2008 12:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/10/european-xbox-360-price-cuts-officially-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/10/european-xbox-360-price-cuts-officially-official/
PS3 May be better for something, but my point is that it all depends on perspective.

For me, I will not own the 360 or PS3, because they are useless for what I want.]]>Mar 10th 2008 12:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/10/european-xbox-360-price-cuts-officially-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/10/european-xbox-360-price-cuts-officially-official/
What? I'm not allowed to act like a child, now?]]>Mar 10th 2008 12:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/10/european-xbox-360-price-cuts-officially-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/10/european-xbox-360-price-cuts-officially-official/
Perhaps posting your enthusiastic needs to suggest shoving something up someone's butt on the internet is probably not a wise decision.]]>Mar 10th 2008 12:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/10/european-xbox-360-price-cuts-officially-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/10/european-xbox-360-price-cuts-officially-official/"Perhaps posting your enthusiastic needs to suggest shoving something up someone's butt on the internet is probably not a wise decision."

Perhaps I was not being enthusiastic, but rather calculated.

Your statement that the PS3 is a real gaming machine where the XBox360 is not, is equally as offensive and improper as my comment was. The point being, that each and every person has their preference. What suits your needs (obviously the PS3) is not necessarily what will suit the needs of someone who needs play variety, or who needs interactivity. Sure the PS3 will eventually close the gap on the 360, but at what cost to the consumer?]]>Mar 10th 2008 12:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/10/european-xbox-360-price-cuts-officially-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/10/european-xbox-360-price-cuts-officially-official/Mar 10th 2008 12:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/10/european-xbox-360-price-cuts-officially-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/10/european-xbox-360-price-cuts-officially-official/Mar 10th 2008 1:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/10/european-xbox-360-price-cuts-officially-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/10/european-xbox-360-price-cuts-officially-official/Mar 10th 2008 11:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/10/european-xbox-360-price-cuts-officially-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/10/european-xbox-360-price-cuts-officially-official/
When the Premium came out it was Euro 270.00 which in 2006 = 270.00 X 1.27 = $342.9
But after the dollar lost value, today's rate = 199.00 X 1.53 = $304.47

So, an 80 Euro price cut, is actually a $40 price cut, thanks to our wonderful economy.

So if anything expect a $40 price cut in Xbox prices.]]>Mar 10th 2008 1:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/10/european-xbox-360-price-cuts-officially-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/10/european-xbox-360-price-cuts-officially-official/Mar 10th 2008 1:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/10/european-xbox-360-price-cuts-officially-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/10/european-xbox-360-price-cuts-officially-official/
However, point is that the dollars drop in value made what should have been a $120 price cut, a mere $40 dollar price cut]]>Mar 10th 2008 1:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/10/european-xbox-360-price-cuts-officially-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/10/european-xbox-360-price-cuts-officially-official/
It still bugs me that WiFi is still an overpriced accessory. Lastly I wonder how many more 20GB drives Toshiba or who ever is selling them HDDs to MS, have left in their spare part container ]]>Mar 10th 2008 12:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/10/european-xbox-360-price-cuts-officially-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/10/european-xbox-360-price-cuts-officially-official/
Further, I am surprised that the EU has not launched an investigation of the 360 due to all the reported failures.]]>Mar 10th 2008 12:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/10/european-xbox-360-price-cuts-officially-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/10/european-xbox-360-price-cuts-officially-official/Mar 10th 2008 12:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/10/european-xbox-360-price-cuts-officially-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/10/european-xbox-360-price-cuts-officially-official/€199.99 = $307.258
Xbox 360 Arcade in America = $279.99

I'm really sorry. You guys seem to get the shaft a lot on things like this...that sucks.]]>Mar 10th 2008 12:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/10/european-xbox-360-price-cuts-officially-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/10/european-xbox-360-price-cuts-officially-official/Mar 10th 2008 12:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/10/european-xbox-360-price-cuts-officially-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/10/european-xbox-360-price-cuts-officially-official/

it includes the VAT. prices over here always include VAT/TAX]]>Mar 10th 2008 12:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/10/european-xbox-360-price-cuts-officially-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/10/european-xbox-360-price-cuts-officially-official/
Once and for all, EU prices aren't higher it's the dollar which is weak.]]>Mar 10th 2008 1:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/10/european-xbox-360-price-cuts-officially-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/10/european-xbox-360-price-cuts-officially-official/Mar 10th 2008 1:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/10/european-xbox-360-price-cuts-officially-official/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/10/european-xbox-360-price-cuts-officially-official/
I'm not saying that you're getting screwed in your overall economy. In this instance, and in several other instances I've seen posted on Engadget, if you WERE to convert currency and buy one here, you'd get a better deal. Once again, not a statement on the general economy, just that on some tech items like game consoles, you guys over there pay more than we do over here.

Premium drops €80 / £50
Elite comes down €80 / £40

But always good with some competion, I think we soon will see a $299, £199, €249, DKK1.999, SEK2.599, do you want more? :)
