Im just complaining a bit about Microsofts X-Box price slash!!! Fair enough it's a great deal, but what about those people who paid £299.99 on launch day? ... Well you get 2 free games and an X-Box controller. But thats unfair if you already have 4 controllers! I have heard many people say that they would not have any use for another controller. I haev 2 controllers, I would have no use for a third which is unfair on me and other X-Box owners, and we were the ones who paid the full price!!!
2 Free games, well that is good, but what if there are no games you want at the moment! And X-Box owners are pressurised to chose two before a certain date, and you can only chose some from a short list. Again, that's unfair!

Im sure that if X-Box owners who paid the full ammount for their console, were told that in three weeks time there would be a slash of £100, many people would wait before getting one. I would!! Instead we are forced to haev another controller msot people dont want and two games we are forced into getting... And we aqre the ones who paid the full price to show our dedication.

And why dont X-Box refund the difference??? Cos they want a guaranteed purchase of their products!

I have to confess I am not pleased at all with Microsofts deal to owners. I dont care what anyone says..... but im sure deep down every owner would rather have £100 in their pocket than a controller and two games. That £100 would give me freedom of choice, which I wont be getting! Especially when Microsoft said themselves that they would not be dropping the price!!!!!!!

Thanx for reading.

I totally agree with you, I am in the same situtation with two controllers but i will never use three. I can't remberber where, but on one of the posts it said something about microsft giving you a memory card or a DVD kit which i would find more useful but not as useful as the cash.

When I e-mailed Microsoft they also said that they would not be dropping the price, I got my console yesterday but I think the deal is good as I didn't get anything with it, are they meant to e-mail back confirming that they have recieved the mail or not? I just can't wait to get some serious gaming done on this console, X-BOX rules!
