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.

Port box

[Reverend Raven]

The X-box is nothing more than a port system. Lack of original, exclusive games that people want, coupled with it's PC-lite interface make it a handy attraction to Edios and Activision and others looking to make a quik few bucks by porting some of their PC/PS2 titles.

This is a last ditch effort to boost sales in third markets while ignoring the total lack of sales in Japan, and the poor sales here in America. After E3 when Sony announces the Playstation 2's price drop, Microsoft will either follow suit (only a few months after launch for a price drop sure would piss off a number of folks) or suffer the consiquences of being $50-$100+ above the cost of the PS2 and Nintendo's Gamecube. Wither and die, shitty port box. ;)
