The price is gonna be the biggest issue. Guess I can wait til it drops below $200.

its technically the cheapest console launch in history. so the price isnt an issue.

Are you sure about that?

I'm pretty sure my Gamecube only cost £130 on launch day. The cheapest version of the 360 is £210.

Im not sure about the UK to be fair - but there was a list on IGN proving it was the cheapest in US launch history recently.

Was the GC really £130 here in the UK... seems so long ago.

They have it marked at Best Buy for $450 or something like that. Since I bought my PS2 and X-Box for just under $200, I'd say there's a significant difference.

well duh go check the release prices - PS2 was $500!

Thats how much I payed. I remember exactly cause I had to go back the next day and get a damn memory card which they said was included.

500 pounds or 500 dollars? I'd swear the PS2 was originally $300 USD.

How is $450 cheaper than $300?

Impactor returns 2.0 · Post by **Impactor returns 2.0** » Mon Nov 14, 2005 6:51 pm

core pack is $300 - work in inflation. x360 is the cheapest luanch in history.

like I say IGN did a big article.

Cube launched in the states for $200

I dont think you can put $100 down to inflation in 4 years

*edit* I just want to add that I think the 360 is launching at a reasonable price, but it seems silly to look at the core pack as that is the pack that idiots will surely buy, pay that bit extra and you get a whole lot more for your bucks.

ppl will die when they see the PS3 pricing then...

I guess I didnt notice the GC launch price because i didnt notice the GC? (got mine for £100 + some games)

GC was the most succesfull console launch in UK history, until the DS (and subsequently the PSP) were launched.

Shame Nintendo couldnt build on that start with decent software support...

how very N64..

Rumors I hear on the net is that PS3, as it doesnt have a finnished controller will have one thats pretty much like the Rev... so PS3 power + Rev controll.
thats that lil war over with then.
