This morning on my way to work, I walked past our local gamestore and kind of saw a big add out front:
Xbox: Console + 5 Games for CHF 449.--
1 Game overhere costs us CHF 99.-- and their selling the console with 5 games + the damn console for less the price than you would need for 5 games alone!
USD 1 = CHF 1.6
USD x = CHF 449
x = USD 280.6-
So, in other words, their selling the Xbox for 280 USDollars with 5 games. :eek:
Damn, the last time I saw prices fall that rapidly, it was in 1998 when PSX and N64 were competing. Due to sloppy sales, Nintendo was forced to drop the price more than a few times. Never did they drop it that low.. this, what Microsoft is doing, is pathetic, yet amazing deal.
I wonder how this will reflect on sales... I expect them to surpass PS2s for a few during this offer....

i dont

Look\'s like Uncle Bill is getting desperate.

Too desperate.
And a bit tempting for me.
-
You should pick it up, seven.
:)

I\'d actually would, if there were any games that interest me. With 5 games to buy, I\'d be wasting my money from the start. :( Right now, the GameCube seems far more attractive with the games coming... furthermore, with PS2 and the games coming out this fall, what could I want more?
-
Xbox is worth the money, I can say that.
GCN is my favorite of the two, but if you just take a look at the Xbox\'s lineup.. you\'re sure to find something.
Well, that is.. unless you\'re into Japanese RPG\'s.. (or Japanese-developed games in general, cough)
-
well the lineup and actually the games out now is a big difference. The best I can get now is Halo. Splinter Cell hasn\'t got me too impressed... so, out of 5 games I would need to get, there\'s only one that really catches my interest.
Besides, PS2s making it pretty hard too, due to the various
must-get titles this fall. If it wasn\'t for that, I guess I\'d be willing to spend that money.. :(
Out of interest, what\'s coming for Xbox? The only one I can think of that could catch my interest is Halo 2... Not too sure of what to think of PDO and Ego yet.. guess I\'ll see when they arrive. :)
-
Ninja Gaiden is the only game that I currently have pre-ordered for it. PDO and Fable are on my buy list..
For me, that\'s about it. :) For now, anyway..
-
halo 2 is a year away
not even a consideration at this point
-
since I pretty much play only sports games, I like the X-Box and am getting one soon. I just wish we had that kind of deal over here.
