| crissindahouse said: the 250gb xbox 360 with skyrim and forza bundle does cost only 206 dollars at german amazon if you convert the euro in dollar and if you take out the tax to get the tax free price like in usa. crazy that if you do that, we have lower prices as in usa and people always say those companies scalp us europeans. |
I think it's because retailers here in Europe (I'm in Ireland btw) seem to cut the price below the RRP much more often than in the US. The 4GB doesn't really seem to retail here at all, and the 250GB 360 is regularly in bundles around the €200 mark (including 2 games), which is considerably down on the RRP of €249 for the standalone console.
I know the PS3 gets similar deals (though usually not as far below the RRP). HMV often have the larger HDD PS3s with some games for the suggested RRP of the standalone console.
