360 price drops?

[MadduckUK]

What was the price of the 360 when it first came on sale?

thats irrelevant. people looking to purchase a console arent going to find out what the price was at launch, there going to compare the prices as they are now. Sony being late to market is there fault and things dont stand still.

But im comparing it to now... the PS3 has a larger hard drive etc.....as above not> 'The 20gb vs 60gb thing doesn't come into play until ms bring out a larger hdd.'

doesnt come into play 'UNTIL' this and that happens etc etc etc until this happens why wont every1 want to play wireless? UNTIL?

As I said, it doesn't matter at the moment. The price to compare is the off the shelf price. Some people have wired networks off which they run their xbox, so they don't need a wireless network connection. I think a large number of people won't even take these consoles on line anyway.

its not going to happen just because one WHOLESALLER has it cheap doesnt mean there is a price drop. There a wholesaller common they get the consoles cheap then cheapr

[Vega]

From bast price drops that is a sign that there possibly is going to be a price drop

I think they could have reduced it with the PS3 launch, but having seen the sales figures they've thought twice

Well lets keep in mind that probably 90% of 360 users will never get close to filling the 20gb that the console ships with. Plus games are designed without the need for a HD, unlike the PS3 (which has to include one due to this).

IMO, MS have had the right approach - Build the basic console, then let the user choose what they want to buy.

I have no need for Blu-ray (or HD-DVD) currently, nor wireless (my house has cat5e in every room), nor a HD really for the games I play - So I will be dammed if im paying for them by buying a PS3 when I have no use for them.

Sony really need a lower end model that just plays games, without the fancy features that loads of people will never use.
