Just got the junkmail out of the letterbox when I go home from work today. It included leaflets from 2 retailers who sell consoles. One had a vanilla XB one selling for the RRP $749 NZD the other had vanilla Xb one for the slight discount of $719. Other retailers are doing "summer deals" for vanilla Xb one for $728 and even $699.

Should help move a few Xb ones, especially the $699 deal. But it's not terribly good for temporary retailer price cuts this early on.

Of course it's mostly the specific retailer's faults for overestimating Xb one demand and ordering too much stock

Any other countries seeing discounted Xb ones at some retailers?

Anyone seeing discounted PS4s?

Day 1 edition I would guess with the special controllers and redeemable code for xbla for the Day 1 achievement.

Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

What's the diff between Day 1 edition and normal Xb one? It's just the console with no advertised extras at all the prices I mention in the OP.
