I can afford it. But I won\'t pay that much... hell, I don\'t even have a PS2, though I can get a brand spanking new unit for $230. I guess I am cheap. ;)

I could snag myself one for (one huge piece of hardware run through a currency converter) ONLY 496.99USD!!!!!! WOW!!!!! Good thing the games at least are cheaper than in Denmark, at (randomly picked game run through a currency converter) 69.69USD (kinky)!!!!!!!!!

Or then I could just buy Golden Sun, ICO, MGS2 and a bunch of other neat games. Hmm.



I did a little survey today : Of the 8 possible stores here in my town that could be selling XBoxes, only one has ordered a few. That is, 10 to be exact. Nobody has preordered any, anywhere. I don\'t mind, I wouldn\'t get one if I had someone pointing a harpoon gun at my crotch. I don\'t mean that I\'m totally dissing the box, I\'ll get one, eventually, when I can get one for cheap and there are more and better games available.

The really sad thing is, no store here is willing to even try selling the GameCube... damn I love this town :evil:

I have heard that a lot of stores in Europe refuse to sell the NGC because they will be making hardly any profit, if any.  They can\'t see 5 minutes more into the future that if they sell the systems, then they can sell the games where they can earn some profit.

So Microsoft is screwing themselves with the Europe market by having such a high price for everything, and the Europe retailers are screwing Nintendo because they want to make a profit by selling the systems but Nintendo won\'t let them sell it for a higher price.  I think it\'s safe to say that Sony ownz Europe. ;)

That is very impressive for a launch lineup...but I don\'t think it will help with that ridiculously high price tag.

You wanna know what\'s a real steal? MGS2 ONLY costs 83€ (73USD) here. Now that\'s cheap, eh?

*-U-*-K!!!!!!!!! (that actually spells "duck")

The game I\'ve waited for years, and now I refuse to buy it because it\'s a couple dozen €s too expensive... :crap:

Is it really worth that much? Or should I wait for some months? I think I could do without MGS2, and get ICO instead...
