Forums - Sales - Amazon having great deals on 360 and PS3

Nsanity on 20 February 2011

It seems that amazon is doing deals all round, the Xbox 360 Slim is available for £ 159 instead of its normal price of close to £200. This is a great deal if you are looking to get into the xbox 360 or buying the PS3 which has also been reduced to £192

yup while the xbox 360 is the currency equivilant of usa $300 just about everywhere except australia where it retails for equivalent of $450, The ps3 is only the equivalent of $300 in USA and japan, being more expencive elsewhere.

i thinks its cheaper than 300 US dollars dont EU include tax for there final price as opposed to US which would cost the consumer more thatn 300 once checked out?

It's not an amazon initiative, they are just price matching Tesco who are a supermarket in the UK.

 

Basically a week or so ago Tesco reduced all gaming related softwareconsolesaccessories by 20% as a promo that runs until the 27th. Amazon have simply matched this since yesterday for the Xbox 360 and since a few days for the PS3.

 

You can ge the Xbox 360 Kinect for £239 on the Tesco website and instore for example.

It's a big hit over there!

It's got nothing to do with the dollar or euro or pound value.

 

It's just a promotion :)

Yes,

 

The Xbox 360 is basically £200 and the 160GB PS3 is roughly £230.

 

If you shop online, or have a bit of a look on the high street you can get the Xbox 360 for about £185 and the PS3 160GB for about £220 most of the time.

 

 

This current price won't hold long, soon as Tesco end the promotion Amazon will put the price back up.
