X-Box Price

[Embattle]

£299.99

I thought it was going to be over £300.

 

[Hashmonster]

bit steep, any news on whats coming with it? or is it just the generic console unit and controller?

methinks i'll wait for a price drop

 

[Nibbler]

And methinks the Xbox will not drop in price for quite a while.

And mealsothinks that Xbox sucks ass.

 

[Wazzerphuk]

I *genuinely* wouldn't purchase an XBox for a tenner.

 

[Embattle]

I know the controller is going to be priced at £24.99.

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Good value considering it's the size of my HEAD.

 

[Embattle]

Well if its the one on top of your neck then it is massive....the one in you pants and no one will be able to find it

 

[Nibbler]

I think you touched a nerve, Wazz.

 

[Embattle]

He hasn't found me yet let alone touched me

 

[Nibbler]

C'mon, Teddington can't be that big of a place. Bump into each other on the street and loathe each other, damnit!

 

[Ono]

I went to an interview at Teddington Lock studios once. It was Pearson TV.



Turned me down cos it would have meant relocation or a 2 hour commute!





X-Box? Sux.

 

[bodhi]

Xbox sucks cock.



That is all.

 

[Wazzerphuk]

I've only not bumped into Embattle because I can't be arsed to cause a rut down his road in my car.

 

[Embattle]

Thats coz the sign says no riff-raff allowed

 

[Sir Frizz]

seeing as though many Microsoft products such as AOE 1 are still on the shelfs for about £30, the Xbox wont drop in price for about 2 years, even then they may only include small little extras afterwards at standard pricing

 

[Wij]

Utter twaddle. M$ knows the console market follows it's own rules and it can't break them. Not until XBox 2

 

[Sir Frizz]

...maybe, s'pose we'll have to wait and see

 

[Embattle]

While the base unit by it's self is £299.99 it seems that MS could be trying to make shops sell them in bundles:

"This Pack has a saving of £4.98 off the RRP."

Also like the

"Sleek and powerful in its look, in a rich shade of black"

wtf is a rich shade of black?

 

[Daffeh]

wouldnt it be cool if MS released a kind of emulator for the PC to run XBox games...kind of how Sony did with the PS2 playing PS1 games

 

[Custy]

hmm, well that would stop them gaining income from X-Box sales since most of the x-box buyers are PC peeps.

 

[Embattle]

Plus PC's aren't powerful enough.

 

[Sir Frizz]

Powerful enough? in what way? 2.2 gig is more than enough for me

 

[Custy]

Dunno, he might mean the majority of PC's.

Is this with some sort of peripheral addon device ?

Sleek and huge, more like.

 

[Daffeh]

true, that if they made an emulator they would lose some sales....but i doubt many people with state of the art PC's are gonna go spend another £300 on a piece of hardware that is a PC in all but name, and after all a huge chunk of the profits are from the actual games...people spend a one off amount of £300 (will come down soon), and then if people only buy 5 games at full price, they nearly make that £300 again. therefore i think it would be a clever move to release an emulator, after the price drops obviously

 

[Custy]

I did hear something ages ago about releaseing the Dream Cast on a PCI Board that would fit into the PC and a reduced price because it would then use your current Hardware, Don't know what happened to that or even if it would work.

 

[Embattle]

Most PCs find it hard enough just to run games for the N64 emulators let alone a PS2.

 

[Daffeh]

like i said, high end pc's only
