Theres a rumour going about that the xbox will cut to £215 soon. An interesting price point at just above £200. On the face of it, it doesn't sound that logical I mean a sub £200 price point will shift a lot more consoles and theres only £16 difference. I suppose retailers may bundle a game for £249.95 like Halo and that does seem pretty good value. One things assured once they go to £215 they won't drop that price for a long time so its perhaps a sensible time to buy. I was hoping for £199 but a £250 bundle deal and I'll definitely get my wallet out for it. Presumably it will be the end of the month just before the GC launches.

Well, I honestly do think it is worth £300. So, I wouldn't be that bothered. Sure, I would be slightly annoyed if they reduced it tommorow, but if I was prepared to buy it at the full price, it obviously doesn't bother me what price it is after I buy it.

Yes you could be bothered - it's just that you've bought it now and are trying to convince yourself that you aren't bothered if the price drops. Face it, if M$ were to announce an £85 price-cut tomorrow, you'd be well peed off. That's like saying you wouldn't be bothered if someone just took £85 from your wallet - of course you would!

Yes you could be bothered - it's just that you've bought it now and are trying to convince yourself that you aren't bothered if the price drops. Face it, if M$ were to announce an £85 price-cut tomorrow, you'd be well peed off. That's like saying you wouldn't be bothered if someone just took £85 from your wallet - of course you would!
If thats true then I may consider picking one up after all!!
Iam still glad I got my Xbox on launch day. As Iam a student and have a part time job the £85 i've lost isnt too much for me, compared to someone who only gets £5 pocket money.
It would be nice that if Microsoft do reduce the price soon, that they send the launch day buyers and everyone else a gift voucher. Even if the voucher is only enough for one game, then its better than nothing.
