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.

Cheap Hardware

I wonder if the components are integrated inside, or can you start ripping things out. At $200 It might be worth it to start selling the stuff inside for money. Anyone out there know?

How to kill Microsoft

[I Want GNU!]

How to kill Microsoft

Step 1) Earn $400 billion
Step 2) Buy 1 billion X-boxes and use them as computers, without buying any games
Step 3) Watch as Microsoft begins to collapse upon itself since it loses money on each unit!
Step 4) Tell all your buddies that Microsoft is dying and that they should switch to the superior Linux OS
Step 5) Play Tux Racer
Step 6) Repeat step 5

You have completed the six step program. Microsoft is now dead! Have a nice day!

Wow! Does that mean they've release another game for the XBox? Or do you just get 2 copies of Halo?

A game console with tv out? Amazing, it's bound to sell like hotcakes with innovation like this.

Little known fact.

You know that "X" that's on the Xbox? In Australia it's detachable. So not only do you get the Xbox for the nice price of $200 USD, you also get two nifty boomerangs that can help you impale your much smarter neighbors who used their money to buy Playstations and Gamecubes.

Now you get their systems too. 3 systems for 200 dollars... Score!
