Posted March 29, 2007 the Elite 360 and the price just makes no sense. I think MS are making a mistake and it makes the PS3 look more attractive. with a estimated £350 price plus £50 for a wireless adaptor your looking at £400. Me personally see it as waste of money considering I could get Japanese 20GB PS3 for £260 and then a external 100GB HD for like £40! The only hope is that it gets released in Japan as the 60GB PS3 is like £310 - £320 so MS will sell the elite for less so your looking at £230 - £250 max.

Posted March 29, 2007 I can't see the Elite being any more than £300 over here! As IGN say; Over the ocean, Xbox 360 Elite launches on April 29 priced at $479.99, roughly equivalent to £245/360 EUR. Such a European price point would significantly undercut the PS3, however - let's be honest - chances of a direct price conversion are slim at best. As soon as we hear more about the Elite's European arrival, we'll let you know. Current exchange US-UK exchange rates put the Elite at around £245, but it won't be released over here at that price.The Premium costs £279.99, so I'd either expect it to replace the Premium at that price, or Microsoft set the Elite at around £299.99.

Posted March 29, 2007 http://www.joystiq.com/2007/03/28/the-xbox-360-elite-is-official-hdmi-and-120gb-for-479/Yeah but that's not official, as there has been no official info on the Elite for Europe. The price of £349.99 in that article makes no sense and is probably a guess based on old exchange rates of about £1 = $1.50. At least IGN have done something right in that they have worked it out based on current exchange rates! Which although won't determine the final price for the UK, help determine a much more likely cost bracket! It seems logical for the Elite to replace the Premium with a similar or slightly marked up price, and the Premium will see a slight price drop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 29, 2007 Overlord being? . . . . I think its the whole free form part of Bioshock that really appeals to me, and i think it'll be different to pretty much every FPS game when its released. Pikmin + Fable = Overlord. You Control imps and such to pillage and destroy villages etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 29, 2007 I dont really like RPGS per se, but fuck me how good is Oblivion I love the open endedness of it. I also love the fact that you'll see a hill in the distance and you walk all the way up the hill without seeing a loading screen. I wish I had bought it earlier.

I was not happy with Vegas at all, I bought it played it when I got home. 10 minutes later I was like "You know what screw this" and went back to Gears. The sad thing is I was really excited about Vegas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 29, 2007 Hmm.. Dunno what the hell to do. Im so split in between only getting a Wii and / or PS3. But now I started cheking out the 360 as an alternative and there are a pretty nice bunch of games that im interested in (Gears of war, dead rising, lost planet, oblivion .. to name a few) and on internet auction, it's a pretty dang cheap console...

Posted March 29, 2007 I got a 360 2 months ago because there were loads of games out for it but when I looked at the games that are going to come out for it I was flawed, there are a crap load coming out and quite a few of them are exclusive. Plus XBL is awesome. I wasn't considering getting a PS3 until recently but I've decided to wait for a) more games b) a price drop and maybe c) redesign. Whatever console you get, you arn't really going to go wrong but until I got my 360 I was getting really bored of gaming! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
