    So I bought a new xbox kinect bundle (4GB) 2 weeks ago after my second RROD for €300 and find its now €250 in HMV today. I think microsoft hates me. I think its very unfair to all the people who paid €300 at christmas to have such a big price drop 2 weeks into January.

    It's microsofts business, they pick the price, when they like where they like. They don't force you to buy anything and electronics are always decreasing in price.

    they only repair RROD for up to 3 years and as far as I know, console prices are set by the manufacturer not by shops, the january sales are to get rid of extra stock, consoles are always gonna sell so if a shop has too many it doesnt make any difference to them, they will b sold at some stage.

    lol, economics fail, cheaper consoles=more chance of people buying them, means selling more at price Y instead ohaving a bunch of them at price X sitting unsold behind the counter.

    Microsoft have not changed any prices, this is HMV. The console and Kinect bundles are still at the usual RRP.

    Hi all,
    I have noticed in the XBOX360 Kinect that there is a green hue with the sports game. However, it changed to a multi coloured graphics for perhaps 2-3 nights and has now reverted to the green hue. Can anyone explain why this is happening?
