is it true?

Willz · 08-08-2005, 03:46 PM

i was talking to my friend (who is an xbox fan) (i am a ps fan) and i said that xbox will cost loads too, and then my freaind told me, it was only going to cost £160 to buy an xbox 360, can anyone confirm if this is actually true?

Sniper · 08-08-2005, 03:01 PM

I can't confirm any prices for you but I think it will cost around £200 to £300 mark, as always we will pay more than the people in the U.S.A.

I think the U.S.A price is set at $300 which is around £170, but I highly doubt that would be the price.

Willz · 08-08-2005, 03:18 PM

oh, thought it was too good to be true.

Exfoliate · 08-08-2005, 03:27 PM

Still think about how cheap that is for what it can do, you could never build a computer for gaming nearly that cheap.

Willz · 08-08-2005, 03:34 PM

Thats becouse computers are better :p

Exfoliate · 08-08-2005, 03:36 PM

Depends what computer you get, personally I'd rather have a 360 than a Dell 2100 but that's just me.

Willz · 08-08-2005, 03:53 PM

well, i would too, i hate dell, there computers are cheap crap.

Matt555 · 08-08-2005, 04:25 PM

i read in a magasine the words 'Microsoft may plan to give them away if they have to' but i dont think that was meant to be taken literally, i think it was meant to mean, 'microsoft will sell them at rock bottom prices if they have to' so they can keep up with PS3 sales, although with the XBOX 360 being released before Xmas and before the PS3 they will have an early lead, (although i dont think that will last)

pelvis_3 · 09-08-2005, 12:01 AM

I read somewhere the other day they will both be announcing the prices within a few weeks!

Sniper · 09-08-2005, 12:04 AM

would be interesting to compare the prices, as for having a big lead over the ps3, the latest I heard was that it will be released in 2007, I think they need to launch in 2006!

ninja fetus · 09-08-2005, 12:10 AM

I wouldn't expect to see 300-450 USD for the 360.

the ps3 will be much more capable of things, c'mon it's microsoft...seriously...

pelvis_3 · 09-08-2005, 12:18 AM

wher did you hear that sniper? i heard theyll be released 3rd quarter 2006!
ohwell!

thanx, i get most of my info from toms hardware!
Wonder whos going to be correct, we'll see.

Exfoliate · 09-08-2005, 06:43 PM

2007, come on, there's way to much hype out for a console almost 2 years off. And they predict it will have a 10 year life span! That is going to be one run down console by 2017, the PS2 is looking pretty tired after less than 6. The problem is although the cpu is amazing the graphics card isn't that much better than a 7800GTX right? That can't hold up for a decade.
BTW I read the decade thing on the Inquirer but it was from the works of some guy on the development team.
