If Microsoft were smart they would drop the price in NA as well. A price setup like this would be optimal.

4GB -- $129ish

4GB/Kinect -- $199ish

250GB -- $199ish

250GB/Kinect $299

 

Now is the perfect time to drop the price of their console and then advertise like they never have before because they're making plenty of profit off of the 360 currently (and they probably still would even with the above prices) and now is the time to market the Xbox brand so they can really get a buzz going for next generation.

That would be like giving away them for free. Like they do in Europe.

I don't know. I might not like a price drop. I think it's cocky by MS to keep the price high at $300 for a X360, cocky in a cool way.

huh?

are you taking the piss?  Lets compare like with like.

4GB console:

Amazon.com $204

amazon.co.uk £149 ($240)

The recommended price in Europe is 239 Euros for a X360 250GB compared to $299 in the US, but in reality they are selling here them for even cheaper than 239 Euros.

So they are roughly the same price then...  how is that giving them away for free in comparison?  (239 euros = 308 dollars)

the difference is marginal.

Because normally products cost the same in Euros as they do in Dollars. So in this case X360 is perceived as much cheaper than it is in NA.
