Microsoft asking for more money, what else is new?  At least PS2 stayed the same in price, X-box going up???  Nintendo must be feeling very proud right now...

The PS2 costed more in the UK too when it came out, it was $299 over in america and £299 here in the UK.
Xbox isn\'t going up in price it is £299 here in the uk the same as the PS2!
So what you should have said was:
Microsoft and Sony asking for more money, what else is new?:D

Pip pip .......what what !


299 pounds for a X box ?

we can get PS2 for under 200 with a shed load of games, or even a gamecube for a fraction of the price



what are MS doing ?

don\'t they want to win the British Pound ?

Ah well looks like ill wait for the first or maybe the second  X box UK price drop before i gets mine


maybe  old Bill is waiting for us limeys to change our currency so that he can be the figurehead printed on the back ?

:laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Bill gates buys the British Pound and changes it name to
THE X POUND !

I don\'t get what you are going on about ooseven, the ps2 was £299 when it was launched, only a year down the line did it go down in price, and the Xbox is £299,and a year down the line it will probably go down in price, becaus ethe components in the xbox will go down in price. That PS2 was the same price, but i didn\'t hear anyone saying what is Sony doing.
If people think the Xbox is good then they will buy it, i paided about £399 for my import Xbox, i have it about 3 and ahalf months before it comes out in the uk, and i am very very happy with it, and i don\'t regret paying the money i did because i am enjoying it very much, and it looks like it is well built.

July 2002: If you had bought $1000.00 worth of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00. Enron, $16.50 left. Worldcom, $5.00 left. If you had bought $1,000.00 worth of Budweiser beer one year ago, drank it all and turned in the cans for the 10 cent deposit, you would have $214.00. Based on the above, my current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.
