Xbox360 Now £97 In Japan, Games £15


According to this ad the Japanese are really having a fire sale on the Xbox360.

A shame as there are some good games coming out.

What does microsoft expect when they didn't , and still havn't
gave them one single role play game.(they love em )

Could the same thing happen over here come november?

Re: Xbox360 Now £97 In Japan, Games £15


shocking

EDIT: Not that I'm complaining...having got it for free and all

But still, considering people were paying £500+ just a few months ago, this is a real kick in the teeth

Isn't that similar to:
http://www.kotaku.com/gaming/xbox-36...ces-142368.php
which was then shown to be wrong here:
http://www.kotaku.com/gaming/xbox-36...uch-142898.php

Apparently the 360 was available for around $150 from launch day in Japan, in a bundle with ISP products. Standard practice apparently.

Can you get PAL standard 360's at £97 on that site soon then? Or am I being ridiculous?

It was for 4 days only, and you have to sign up to a japanese ISP contract which ends up costing a lot more then an xbox 360 on it's own, was just a promotion from the ISP, nothing we can take advantage of, and wasnt worth the price either.

You can buy the jap xbox360s on ebay.

I think they are £90 + £50(P+P)

They were premium as well.

Not sure if they are still though

you can't, the reason they're so cheap is because you have to sign up to an isp or phone contract etc. On ebay the japanese versions were still about £240
