S costs $310 equivalent, $10 more than in the the west, while X costs $470, $30 equivalent less than in the west.

That's actually pretty decent. Here's australia...

Not as nice by comparison.

Yeah the Series S is the same price as the Switch. PS5 will be very expensive as well compared to the PS4. If you are in a contract with Telstra then the Xbox All access seems like a better deal. Or do the trading option. 



Pocky Lover Boy! 

How does this compare to Switch in Japan?

Japan has a 10% sales tax so the console is considerably cheaper in Japan than in the US.

Gret news for the 8 buyers that are already lining up at the stores

Comparatively here in Kiwi land, prices aren't too much worse. Considering we're almost 10 cents down on the Australian dollar.

(Prices from EB Games NZ Facebook page)

Bizarrely, Xbox Series S actually costs the same amount with trade-in. Only EB Games could somehow attribute the same value to an Xbox One S and One X.

I'm in for a "$100 off" by default anyway. A former co-worker had a $500 eb gift card they didn't want. I bought it for $400.

Win win. 



This thread is quickly being detailed into a prices around the world thread...

Not sorry. Come at me.



consoles are always cheaper in japan then ANYWHERE ELSE lol.

32,980 is literally 299$ with 10% tax, considering the exchange rate, its actually CHEAPER to buy an xbox in japan then in the US if the tax is equal at 10% (since tax varies by state in the US)

actually 34,980 would be closer to equal price.

im fully expecting 379,990 won in korea (1000 won=1$ in feeling, actual exchange rate is normally around 1070 to 1 but currently its really high at 1170 to 1...)

750 Aus $ is around 460 Euro. So it's actually cheaper in Australia than in Europe...
