Harvey Norman is offering the Xbox 360 Elite (available for pick-up on purchase) with GTAIV (available for pick up on the 29th of April) for $698, which I believe is $1 less than the recommended retail price of the only PS3 model available in Australia, the 40gb.

Furthermore, for those that want to take advantage of the 360's diverse game library, Gametraders is offering the Xbox 360 Pro bundled with Lost Odyssey, PGR4, Viva Pinata and Forza Motorsport 2 for $629.95.

Alternatively, Big W now has the Pro console for $498 without bundled games.  Thats just $110 more expensive than the Wii, whilst the Core can be found for less than a Wii..... 

cool. Too bad im too scared of RROD to get 360.
But im sure people will eat it up, and if i was to get a 360 it would have to be at least 20gb

I honestly don't think the Rrod rate of the 360's sold today would be that high at all. Microsoft has realized the cost of repairing consoles en masse.

The 360 has the largest number of AAA games out of all the current generation's consoles, simple as that.

You get a three year Rrod warranty anyway. But at the end of the day you have to like the look of the games.

If they manage to eliminate RROD then I will consider a 360. If not then it doesn't matter how much it costs.

nice Australia, very nice

I brought a 360 for my work. It's a piece of shit. Most Aussies I know think the same :D well they are all on the PSN so might be bias :P j/k

I'm the same Branko, no 360 for me unless it is free or the RRoD is well and truly a distant memory!

I refuse to pay a lot of money for something that has a high chance of failure!

Not being rude, but from someone whos had 4 PS2's, I think you're in good hands with a 360!

 we hardly care what you think with a sig like that.

You make Leo-j look intelligent. 

RROD is not an issue if you buy new now. Your just as likely to get problems with PS3 or wii. Thats how much better it's got.
