Ahead of the Xbox 360's European release on Friday, Digital Excess Studios is reporting that the console is being advertised for a whopping € 609 (approx $715) at a shop in Waterford here in Ireland.I'm guessing this must include a bunch of extras and isn't the standard price of a Premium unit on its own, but I'll be waiting 'til the price comes down before I get one myself if the report is accurate:
The XBox 360 is nearly upon us (in Europe) and guess what? It’s a rip-off!
Why is that? Vendors who took pre-orders estimated the price to be around €410 for the 360 with the hard-drive and extra goodies. So imagine my shock when I went into GameStop in Waterford yesterday to see the price listed as €609! For a console? This is absolutely ridiculous!
