Forums - Sales Discussion - Retailer Console Deals round the world

amazurkiewicz on 01 August 2007

With the recent price adjustments to various consoles, I thought it would be interesting to gather retailer deals around the world compared to the manufacturers recommended price.  This will be interesting as retailers will pack in games or drop prices to boost sales of items not performing as they would hope. This could give us an indication of retailers sales expectations around the world.  I will post for Australia where I  picked up a Wii this last week:

Retailer: JB Hi-Fi

Wii MRSP $399 with Wii Sports

Deal: $388 plus Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition

PS3 MRSP $999 with Motorstorm and Resistance: Fall of Man

Deal: $959

Xbox 360 MRSP $649 with Forza Motorsport 2

Deal: $549 

Do we see deals like this in other countries?
