Gamestop sells X360 for $79, how do you want MS to counter that with a new hardware?

99 bucks for a new 360 would sell more than a used one for 79 bucks.

What is the profit margin of that $99? Gamestop buys them for $40-50 max.

Um, how would I know? Gamestop isn't the only retailer that sales consoles last I checked either.

Edit: I'm pretty sure the 360 is dirt cheap for MS to manufacture. Or should I say was.

I'm pretty sure Gamestop can sell them for lower price at higher profit, with warranty. And they can even throw used games with it and still make money.

I'm sure it's not worthwhile for MS to sell a new X360 for that low of a price.

Yep. I'll call them and complain.

Fuck these ads

Seems weird would of though a digital purchase would automatically message you the codes once you purchased the game.

Just got my code 😂. Didn't even have to call.

Superhot is supposed to be a great game.

Watched AngryJoe playing it and it was quite fun.
