Price it the same and they still have a chance. I think €450-€500 is right on the money. No way will it be less than €450, won't happen.

Yeah don't really know what people were expecting, you pay at least €600 for a top of the range phone these days, why would your Xbox be cheaper?

If you include the price of bundled kinect, 500 isn't too bad.

€419 for the core (basic)
€519 for the Premium/Pro

I'm certain it was €299 for the core and €399 for the pro in Europe. Then we had to pay a little more in Ireland.

Same way PS3 was €600 but Game/smyths/HMV here charged €630.

They didn't say much about the new Live service or the DRM. It's like if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all. No rumors were put to bed here at all.

Back in the day i Bought Iphone 3gs for 550eu prepay, these days i bought 600eu Experia Z on contract for 200eu. Not a lot of people can afford unlocked/prepay phones anymore.

In fairness, they had said E3 would be all about the games. They probably won't talk about it till gamescon.

I would have liked to hear more about the TV features. Or maybe a trailer for that awesome looking halo TV show.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

half tempted to stay up for the sony one..not gona buy an xbone or a ps4 but curious to see what they do after ms's difficulties the last week

Good conference with some great exclusives and other games mainly the witcher 3 and MGS

What impressed me most was the dynamic worlds in each game and the amount of new animations and interaction with the worlds

What I did hate though was the extreme casual aspect of RYSE? Press x to stab slow mo style, I also found battlefield 4 to be bland and nothing new. Looks the exact same . Oh and minecraft can just go away from console, most people play with mods now....

Not a single mention of used games or drm.

Respawn's game looked great, is it coming to PC as well? Swear I remember them announcing it

Not a bad show by MS, still doesn't make up for bull**** DRM but the ball is in Sony's court now.

Major Nelson linked to this on twitter a while ago. Seems fair enough to me. http://news.xbox.com/2013/06/license

£429 including 20% vat is £357.50 excluding VAT = $557

Whoops, you're correct. Still accounts for the majority of the difference though.

How is not being able to sell your games in any way fair?

Timmyctc

Gotta add the sales tax in the US as well which varies from state to state, at 6% it brings it up to $529.
