Xbox 360 Price Drop!

[kralster]

Thats correct. Microsoft have officially dropped the price of the 360 in Australia.

The cost of a Premium console has dropped from $649 RRP to $579 RRP.

And the core pack is now $399 from $499.

Certainly is good value (always was)

Interesting now that the core console is the same price as a wii. So side by side you can guess which one will make peoples jaws drop.

But the wii does come with biulit in memory, and a pack in game.

Sony currently have there console with a bonus controller, and 2 games for 999.95 (good way to please early adoptors) but will need to do something seeing as how an 360 is almost half price now.

In other news though i got a US model 60 gig PS3 for 450 australian dollars. Now thats good value.

Damn how'd you get that so cheap? Ebay's your friend? I want a next gen console but would rather wait for the ps3 because of GT5.

My cousin in the army in iraq managed to get me one for 399 US dollars, which with the exchange rate will be about 450.

So i should have it when his deployment is over which is next month i beleive.

Excellent value and i can't wait to get it.

hope you dont wanna play DVDs or play online on AUS servers.

[kralster]

I already have a DVD player.

And i'll have no problem playing with australians on ps3 games. It would be dumb if you can only play with people from the same country.

With there being only 60,00 ps3's in australia and not everyone being online or having the same game. The servers would be pretty empty.

Played gt concepts or watever it is the free 'game' on the Sony Store. Even though it only includes a couple of cars and one track. Did not like it at all, didn't feel as real as forza, doing jumps, not getting damaged, very weird handling and really not compareable to the physics behind forza...Is not even close to the league of Forza Mororsport 1 or 2. If you really like simulation get a 360. That way when u hit a wall, you won't just bounce off! And you'll also be able to upgrade the body kits ;-) Swap engines ;-)

I want a ps3 cos it is an insane piece of technology, being able to run linux from stock form, upgradable hdd etc, and it looks so pretty. BUT i will be getting a 360 cos the games like HALO and FORZA and GEARS OF WAR and PROJECT GOTHAM RACING won't be coming out on ps3. which sucks.
