Xbox Price Drops For Australia And Europe

wallitron writes: "Due to slow sales in Australia, Microsoft is looking to drop the price of it's XBox to $399 (around $200US). With a fast CPU, wizzy graphics card, ethernet, DVD and TV out, it would be a handy thing in the living room if it ran a real OS. At that price it seems good value. Check out the article on the price drop." There are price drops in Europe, too.

If you are so f**king concerned with running Linux on your TV set in the living room, build a computer with a graphics card, ethernet, DVD, and TV out and hook it the fuck up to your TV set. Quit bitching about a what is in all reality A VIDEO GAME CONSOLE. It's not meant to be a PC.

Good Old EULA

I'll bet the EULA for an X-box strictly forbids that you purchase them somewhere other than within a 50 mile radius from your house or some other draconian rule. This is so Microsoft can control their prices and legally bust people who don't want to pay $300 for an X-box and just go to to buy one for $200. It wouldn't surprise me a bit.
