Good news for those who were thinking about buying one....not so good news for those (like me!) who paid the higher price a few weeks ago [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

sorry but it was bound to happen, it's always the way with consoles

The_Gza

Yeah

Never mind the Budget - this is a Gadget Tax!

At least I'll get a "thank you package" from Bill Gates - hope it's a cheque for £100!

The PS2 will follow suit then I would imagine

netclectic2

surely, there must be some consumer right or other which would entitle you to a refund!

from XBOX UK...

You guys don't sweat, for all those that have already bought the console as a thankyou for buying an xbox at £300 we're getting a free controller and two games, hurrah!

How do we go about getting the 2 free games & controller then?

Go here http://www.xbox.com/uk/news/0025.htm to get an application form.

I can never get those bloody links to work.

Pete add {url} at the front and {/url} at the rear of the address and bobs your aunty it works

(change the {} for [] though) eg:

{url}www.xbox.com{/url} becomes with [ ]......

www.xbox.com

It does say 'a chance to...' so does that mean it is some sort of bullsh1t competition type thing, the link off the xbox page didn't work for me!

ozzy

Yeah, the link doesn't work

If console manufacturers have sooo much confidence in their products, they should just sell them cheap to begin with.

If they set the price too high, then there just cashing in on all those unfortunates who must have THE latest thing and the poor parents whose kids whinge for the latest toy.

It's happened with every console released, but I can't remember it happening so close to when it was first released.

They'll need to either lower the price some more or get more games on the market before I'll be tempted.

£200 quid, just for Halo - I think not.

Matt,

Can you forward it on to me at the_gza@talk21.com?

I can't get access to the X-Box site

Thanks

Scott W

I've already got most of those games they are offering, so I'll be waiting until the 26th as well!

Gza, done

Matt

I feel a copy of Rallisport Challenge coming my way

The_Gza

Thanks Matt

Pete_UK99

Ozzy what are you talking about. Apart from Halo other great games are Rally sport challenge, Dead or Alive, Jet SetRadio, Project Gotham and so many to come. When PS2 came out it was £300 and the only game worth getting was SSX and it stayed that way for a long time a year I think. So stop talking a load of bull.

My mate has ps2 and the only game he has bought for it is Grand Turismo latest version, he loves it, he belongs to a site on the internet and races other users of G.T.
