Heard on the news on the way in to work that the Xbox is to be sold at £199 now.

That was all on the xbox site. I presume you will have to take yer receipt back to the store.. but I could be wrong.
Cheers Idiot for trying to explain the situation.
Give me strength or give me ammo.

You gotta claim before July 1st..
What you lot don't seem to get is that we paid £100 more for our XBox, but we'll get £115 quid of stuff back. 2 games @ £45 ea. and 1 controller at £25 ea.
Therefore we're £15 better off than people who wait for the drop.
Fools.
Anyway, if I can I'm going to claim The Thing as one of my games. Not sure when it's out but it's going to rock!

Yeah, that £100 has made me hate Microsoft.
Instead, I'm going to throw my perfectly good console in the bin and sulk in the corner.
Wow, I'm sure angry about this whole thing.
Why Microsoft? How could you drop the price so soon? Dammit I hate you.
Boy I'm just red-faced with anger here.
*shakes head*
I DON'T CARE ONE TEENY BIT
I've spent more than £100 on DVDs this week, means nothing.

I bet you are kicking youself now Goatboy?
I bet you wish you had waited a while.
I knew there'd be a price drop but I certainly never expected one this early on.

Halo - Excellent
Rallisport Challenge - Excellent
Jet Set Radio Future - Strange, haven't really played it
Obi-Wan - Alright, not the best but haven't really played it
I'm still hammering Halo and Rallisport.
