I'm sure this is just a move to make people buy once this Christmas instead of waiting for another price cut. It seems like the second a system comes out half the people out there are waiting for one.

I totally agree, they wont be able to keep the price up for eight months. It is just a way to get people to rush out and buy Xbox 360's

Isn't $199 the magic number of mass adaptation?
The holiday sales shall tell.

The arcade is cheap enough, but the add-ons . . . Way to expensive. So expense that I won't buy any MS add-ons for many, many years to come.

I really want a 60/120GB HDD... But don't want to pay about £80 for 120.

Which is why $199 really isn't the real # for real gamers IMO....it's much much more....but it will help them in the general scheme of things (mass market appeal)

Well, 199$ for the Arcade and even 299$ for the Pro are really good prices for this gen consoles. However, you have to think about the Wireless dongle at 99$ if your house isn't wired, you still have just a DVD player in there (quite noisy too) and the Arcade has no Hard drive.

I think they should either give the Wireless dongle with the Pro or integrate it. That extra 99$ should not be there but for wireless capability.

"It's like, how much more inexpensive could this be? and the answer is none. None more inexpensive."

With apologies to Nigel Tufnel.

HEres an idea... GET A JOB! I think MS hit the magical number for the product... Some people just wont ever be happy... Oh 399 is too expensive oh 350 is too expensive oh 299 is too expensive oh 249 is to expensive OH $50 is to expensive...

Jeezus, get a job or dont buy one...

PS2 was at 199 for a very long time before it it 149... and even with the ps3 out they didnt budge on the dollar amount...

All i ask is thatthey start shipping out quieter products...
