At current exchange rates USD500 is AUD 820. With GST that becomes AUD902. Plus greater shipping costs and less economies of scale. AUD could improve but not a whole heap.

I can see them making it $899 to say its under $900. They will want to avoid going higher if they can. I know its a long time ago, but the PS3 launched at $999 and that was a PR nightmare and a launch disaster.

Usually improvements of the AUD has occurred because the USD has tanked harder than the AUD.. Like during the Global Financial Crisis where the USA entered recession and AUS did not.

We are also tied with the chinese economy as they buy all our resources, so when they do well, we do well.

Personally I will be dumping my Xbox One X into the games room and getting the Series X on release day to put in the lounge room.

Everything is unpredictable right now, our COVID rates are low which is going to give us a long term economic advantages I think.

Agreed. Not to mention our stimulus packages are massive... How very labor of the liberal government.

We're going to be in debt forever but... At least we'll rebound from covid rather quickly. Well, I hope so anyway.
