Xbox slashes its price!

GokuZool · 04-20-2002, 03:35 AM

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?

Dreamer128 · 04-20-2002, 04:27 AM

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

Megabot · 04-20-2002, 04:40 AM

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!

caleb · 04-20-2002, 05:53 AM

Its still the same in USA as its always been $300

Sigmar · 04-20-2002, 05:56 AM

$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.
