IT RAISED IN PRICE AFTER THEY SAID IT WOULD?! Outrageous. I say we protest again MS until it's back to it's rightful price: $349. Hell, why stop there? Lets demand it only cost $300, or even better $200 with 10 free games!
Too many fucking idiots live in this world... They said it was going to happen. Yet people are still surprised that a holiday (keyword, folks) deal isn't lasting all year long. Will it drop in price again? Possibly and definitely during the next November/December. It was marketing move to create moment for the X1, and they succeeded. Many of my old anti-X1 fans either bought one or are very interested now -that's the most important thing. Not the imaginary console wars that truly only exist in forums like this. However, MS is a bit more realistic and knows that they cannot win NA market share and lose profit. They're here for profit, not "Globally in the US" domination -getting that is a nice bonus, but it wont happen... at least at the present.
To believe that they'd keep it at $349 during (at least) the first 2/4th of the year is absolutely ridiculous.
