    Xbox console has been reduced to €199 from €249 throughout Europe.
    How much does Microsoft lose with each console at this stage? Thats the same price as a Gamecube now...

    Well that's convinced me. I'm getting one for Fable, Halo and Buffy. I'll have every major console now :)

    Actually, Game looks pretty decent this time; all the latest games for €50 or less with the XBox, and some older ones for €15

    Smyths have an offer on at the moment. Buy 2 get the 3rd free (when I checked a while ago anyway).
    They used to have the offer on just Gamecube games, but they had them on Xbox ones too.

    [offtopic] MacDaddy, erm, you got some parts of the quote in your sig wrong. Fix it :) [/offtopic]

  • Registered Users Posts: 2,277 ✭✭✭DiscoStu


    gamesworld have an xbox and 3 games(not bad ones to but cant remember the all Halo is one though) for €250.

    its still not enough for me to buy one of those boxes of evil :)

    I see that coupled by the xBox price reduction, Microsoft have launched a Platinum or as they like to call it 'Classics' range. They are priced at €30 and include Project Gotham racing, Amped, SSX Tricky, max Payne, 007 Agent Under Fire, Crash Bandicoot and about ten others.

    GAME now have some of their second hand games priced more than games new...:rolleyes:

    30 euros?
    christ you can buy stuff like army men 2 and all those old games for 10 quid in some of the stores here in england.
    and all the older ones you mention are less than 15 quid.
    by the way, if you look on amazon, you can get a lot of stuff cheap as well.
    i just got silent hill 2 directors cut for 15 sterling.
    bloody scary it is too!

    Great news.. it's being reduced to €209 here.. and €199 everywhere else in the EU.. why is this?


  • Registered Users Posts: 18,484 ✭✭✭✭Stephen


    This is just a guess, but maybe its because of the fúcking crazy vat rate we pay here?
