I still think(hope) it'll be cheaper than that.

That's like... somewhere around $250 USD?

No way in hell I'm buying that.

Well, they don't convert the same to US money. If I'm not mistaken, in Europe, the price of a PS3 is £299 (looking similar to the $299 price in the US). So, it doesn't directly translate to the American price



Not a good price point imo

The price will be announced in August all current prices are placeholders including the one of the US Microsoft shop.

And for comparison £130 is equal to $195 ish.

The UK retail would want this to be £99 or $148 obvioulsy this price includes all taxes state or otherwise.

Oh, okay great!



Talk to GAME. They will laugh if you tell them that. Haha.

GAME expects £89.99 highest and lowest £79.99. Equivelant of around $155-$180 US.



Not sure about your dollar conversion Selnor but like i said earlier these are most likely placeholders although that is a lot lower than anything I have seen and I think sounds a bit like wishfull thinking. It is a little early for leaks but stranger things have happened.

I expect it to be under £100 if it arrived at £80 or 90 that would cause a stir as that would be equal to $120-130 range which would normally indicate something a lot lower for the US shops probably $100-110. Please remember UK prices will include Value Added Tax of about 17.5% (soon to rise to 20% in January).

Amazon US new 360 $299 Amazon UK new 360 £199 apply a rate of $1.50 to the pound and that is pretty much a direct comparison. In fact the UK guys are getting it cheaper as that includes taxes.
