Am I reading this right? A century old console and two old CoDs for 250? You must be kidding me. Especially when now there is the offer that gives you a free game of your choice on Xbone. Pay 150 more and go next gen with a game? A no-brainer. I have no idea why hasn't MS massively cut the price of X360. PS3 costs around 140 Euro in Europe.


Is that 140 Euro for the PS3 12GB model?

Also, how much is the Xbox 360 4GB in Europe?

By the way, a PS3 with a HDD cost $269. Sony actually did a stealth price increase in the US.

looks cool



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

If they came out with a blue Xbox One that would be awesome!! This 360 looks sexy as well but I already have those games on another console.

Yes and it's actually sometimes even less than 140 Euro. Recently you could get this PS3 with 2 gamepads and FIFA World Cup 2014 for 190 Euro.

The cheapest X360 I found is the 4GB version with HALO Reach for 200 Euro. Though you can also get X360 with the 250 GB disc and World of Tanks voucher or COD BlOps 2 for 215 Euro. That is a big difference no matter how you slice it.



Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!

My Vita to-buy list: The Walking Dead, Persona 4 Golden, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, TearAway, Ys: Memories of Celceta, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, History: Legends of War, FIFA 13, Final Fantasy HD X, X-2, Worms Revolution Extreme, The Amazing Spiderman, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - too many no-gaemz :/

My consoles: PS2 Slim, PS3 Slim 320 GB, PSV 32 GB, Wii, DSi.

The cheapest Ps3 I found in Europe is 269 euro which offers a 500gb version of the ps4 with uncharted 3 and two controllers.

I remember that I bought a Xbox 360 at launch for 299 , 9 years later it is 50 euro cheaper to get one =p.

Why have two versions of the same game? I am confused.

You should look closer The 12 GB version is 140 Euro, you can buy a brand new 500 GB disc for 40 Euro and be set with a 500 GB PS3 for 180 Euro.

This really annoys me (the X360 prices). I want a cheap X360 to catch up on the handful exclusives it has, but I'm not gonna pay 215 Euro just to play GeoW, Halo and maybe 5 other games. At this point I'd rather pick up Xbone and hope they remaster the remaining Halo and the GeoW games.

In Europe, it seems prices vary country to country.

Here in the US a 360 is cheaper and bundled with more games than PS3. Also, numerous retailers don't seem to carry the 12GB PS3 at the moment.

At this point I feel a fair price for PS3 and 360 would be $150 and maybe $200 with a HDD. But there is still demand for both and remain rather expensive.

Wow, you seem to be right. The prices I give you come from the official web page of Media Markt - the largest European chain of electronic stores, but I've just compared the prices from the Polish and German sites and while the 12 GB PS3 costs 140 Euro in Poland, it's 199 Euro in Germany!! Insane. Especially since the taxes are higher in Poland. I know consoles are usually cheaper in Poland than the Euro zone (you can buy PS4 for 350 Euro), but this is ridiculous. Wonder if the prices are like that in-stores.

I'm hoping to buy a new X360 for around 120 Euro. Don't think it's worth more to someone who already has a PS3 and Wii.
