Lower Xbox 360 prices

Microsoft lowers Xbox 360 retail price in South Africa

 

[fxit_man]

Hmm so now you can almost get 3 Xbox's for the price on 1 PS3

But even 3 Xbox's has nothing on a PS3

Almost the same price as a ps2. Scary

 

[PDonut]

WTH? that was awefully sneaky... would have probably held back this weekend and not gone and bought 1 if i'd known that...

 

[eye_suc]

From today, Xbox 360, which includes a 60GB hard drive and one wireless controller, will have an estimated retail price (ERP) of R 2699.99.

NOOOooooooooooo!!!!

guess who recently bought an xbox??? bastards! a little headsup would have been greatly appreciated you bastards!

still enjoying it though

Grrrr, I paid 4k for my pro

At least I'll be able to get one cheap when it inevitably blows up (just as fallout is released)

 

[EtienneK]

Wow. This is a good move from MS. The 360 arcade is now the same price as a PS2.

Just one thing: In the article the dude said the 360 was the first to reach 20 million sales worldwide. That surely can't be right? The Wii is already on 30 million sales while the 360 is on 21 million: http://www.vgchartz.com/

Now if only they'd get their act together for Live! in SA

Wow. This is a good move from MS. The 360 arcade is now the same price as a PS2.

And the games are still 3 times the price

I've got all 3 consoles! Guess I win this fight?

waiting for that PS3 to come down. Looked at getting a 360, but
to load linux you have to take some risks, where PS3 i can just load
it. "Linux supports PlayStation 3 since kernel version 2.6.21, so no patches or modifications are required for it to run"

Go for it, wait all you like twiddling your thumbs while the smart kids are playing all the cool games (at better framerate's to boot )

Tosh. For the price of a PS3 you can buy a 360 Pro and have enough left over to buy a really decent PC to Run Linux- with a gazillion variants to chose from and no restrictions on the hardware.

Oh and as an aside - the PS3 isn't coming down any time soon. Sony still lose 100's of dollars on every unit sold. Look at the PSP, it has been price reduced in years for the same reason.

 

[Shadow Dragon]

and still no proper live support for sa thanks to telskum and a degree microsoft. pfft

 

[Le^stat]

very tempting though...

And why on earth would you want to do that? You buy the XBOX to play games on it, not demonstrate your Linux l337ness...

'Cause it's cool

But like I've said: I've got a Wii, a 360 and a PS3. Each of them have their place!

Doesn't it make more sense to buy a ps3 than the others. With ps3 one can watch bluray movies as well, whereas others don't have bluray capability (I think, am not into gaming anyways). But if I were to buy I'd go for ps3. Aparently it's the cheapest bluray player on the market.
