A European who doesn't know Media Markt or Saturn has never and will never own a console. These stores are like Walmart or MacDonald's of electronics. Everyone knows them. Also, stop deluding yourself that XO is only available in the 13 countries. It is available in every single country of the EU, that's what the Common Market is all about - there are no customs and if MS wanted to somehow limit the retailers and force them not to sell XO in other countries, then man, oh man, would they get a hefty fine from the European Commission :D I live in Poland in which XO is not officially "released", but it wouldn't take me more than 10 minutes to get to a store that has an XO. You can get it in pretty much every game store. In fact take a look at this service, it's like a Polish "eBay" (we dumped eBay and still stick to our Polish auction service ;) ). http://allegro.pl/microsoft-xbox-one-147134?order=t So... Yeah. The console sure as hell isn't available outside the few countries MS listed :) MS fans, just quit using this false argument, cause you are just setting yourself for a disaster in September, when MS launches XO in those countries to no real effect, cause all the MS faithfuls will already have a console and other customers will just keep on buying PS4, which will completely own the market by then. XO is selling that much worse than PS4 because people don't want it that much. Period. |
It's incredible to be European and never hearing of Mediamarkt.
Jesus christ alter!
Also Xbone is available in pretty much all Euro countries surrounding France, Germany, Italy etc
