The Xbox is slashing its price by 40% in Australia coz no-one is buying it! It is now $399(aus)$215(us) while before it was $649(aus)$315(us)! Have they done this in the US or is it just in Australia?

The same thing happened in Europe, I think they changed it from E499 to E299!!!

Yes here in Norway to the price was about 500$ US or 5000 kr norwegian
and now you can get it for 330$ 3300 norwegian kr! :D

$300, that's cheap. We have it at £300 here in the UK.

Its almost a miracle. But I guess its cheaper to lower the prices then to have a totally flopping console. Anyway, scr*w Sony and Nintendo, I'm defecting to Microsoft *starts packing his bags.

*runs to america straight across the ocean creating a tidal wave in his wake*

*slams receipt down on WalMart counter*

"JET SET RADIO FUTURE AND GRAND THEFT AUTO 3 AND ONE OF THEM SMALLER CONTROLLERS PLEASE!"

*guy at counter is just a skeleton, his skin, organs, and muscle tissue has been blown off from the sheer speed of me entering the room*

"well? SPEAK UP!"

"naah..." *jaw hits the floor*

"...ok...."

"can i help you sir?"

"JETSETRADIOFUTUREANDGRAND
THEFTAUTOTHREEWITHONEOF
THOSESMALLERCONTROLLERSPLEASE!"

*woman's head explodes*

@_@ wwuuuaaaah!!!!

*runs To sports department*

*gets a baseball bat*

*runs back to electronics*

"Wait Wait sir It's not a Piñata!!!"

"then get the KEEEEEYYYY!!!!"

*guy falls over dead*

*Grimaces at the glass*

*glass breaks*

*nabs his stuff*

*runs out of store setting off the alarms*

"ITS ALLRIGHT I GOT THE RECEIPT!!"

*runs to Cuba*

"This just in from CNN news stationed in Florida, a young man from out of the blue rushed into a store and commited 3 accounts of armed robbery and murder... he then defected to cuba claiming that "He had the sales receipt" ... we don't know what to make of this here... why don't I turn it over to bob... our juvenile criminal investigator"

*kid grabs the mic* *talks in high-pitched voice* "thank's sally, Yes I am a Juvenile and a Criminal Investigator... from what we can see here we've got a kid who was just over-exited from his obtaining of free stuff... I think the murders were mainly done in self-defense. Just look at those Wall-mart employees. All TALL and everything! MAN they just tower over you and poke their fingers at you like yoru all cute and rub the top of your head like they actually KNOW you and all you can think it 'what the *bleep* I don't know who the *bleep* these *bleep*in people are! Get the *bleep* away from me you *bleep bleeeep bleeeeeeep bleep* Foos' but you can't say nuttin' cuz then they'd get an attitude and you couldnt purchase slightly damaged stuff with their low low prices >_<"

"...o..k..."
