Microsoft rock the UK!!!!! A third thread. FREE GAMES.
« on: April 18, 2002, 10:41:10 AM »
First they delever true PAL 60 gaming and now they have cut the price. Not only this they are offering two games and a free controller to the original peeps who bought the console.

Seriously Sony and there broken machines, crappy customer survices, leaked memos etc can go screw themselves.

Microsoft is offically a decent company in my book.

/me is seriously considering getting an X-Box.

Hah 00seven missing the point.

X-Box dropping price cause of Gamecube.

Microsoft giving compensation to people who bought console.

We all know which statement I was hyped about. I mean most other companies wouldn\'t give a crap about whether previous customers had spent more.

You got to remember I don\'t support a company. Im not a fanboy. Im just saying the truth. What Microsoft have done is great esp when most companies treat the UK like rubbish.

What did they drop the price to?

Is it at least competitive now?

Is it only MS first party titles that are free?

Could this be the first thing MS has done right?

No your right mate. They have dropped the price cause the console is doing craply. I mean they wouldn\'t have if it was selling.


Buuuuuuuuut... Forget that for a second, im saying Microsoft are great for rewarding the customers who paid the original price. I can\'t see Sony ever doing something like that. Hell I still ain\'t got my demo disc from them which you get when you register.

Two points

point 1 on SONY )i think it woul of bankcrupt them if they did it after the Japanese launch what with the  1 Million sales in just a week

could you imagine what whould happen if they lowered the price  5 weeks after that launch :ekk: thats a lot of YEN

Point 2 on MS ) i think this is just a shameful PR stunt.. after all if you think of it the sales were very crappy, so they don\'t have to refund too many people here in PAL\'s ville ;)

Some €299, which is about $265. Here in good old Denmark the three consoles (Xbox, PS2 and GCN) will now be priced similarly.

Yep.

Forced to would be a better word. It has barely been released a month before they cut the price severly. I\'m not complaining tho\'. :)
