"Xbox Price Drop"

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

(Insert ill-informed market-analysis comments about the fiscal viability of Microsoft below)

Right then, what games you got. I wasn't to impressed by halo but i'm clearly out on my own.

Like the man said, he gets a £100 of goodies as compensation.

No, I wanted one at launch and got one.
*shrugs*
It's not like £100 is much.
And 2 free games sounds top to me, cheers Microsoft.

I do apologize, but surely a saving of hundred quid is annoying.

Yes, and I repeat:

So what?

I'm loaded and I get 2 free games.
Makes no odds to me at all.

I may be wrong, but i thought you bought a x-box full price? at £300.

So how longs it been out, 4 weeks?

Quickest price drop in console history.

?????? Are You sure?????? *scratches head*
