Microsoft Cuts Xbox 360 Prices In Australia Again

From gamasutra.com:
[QUOTE]
For the second time in just six months, Microsoft lowered prices across all of its Xbox 360 models in Australia, bundling the systems with complimentary games for a limited time as Christmas approaches.

The company cut the price of its Xbox 360 Arcade model by AUD50 ($33) to AUD299 ($199), as well as the Pro and Elite models by AUD100 ($67) to AUD499 ($333) and AUD599 ($400) respectively.

Those prices quoted include GST (the pre-tax retail prices are 10% less). Just picked up a 60Gb Pro pack for AUD $270 (USD ~$180).

UMMMM WRONG!!!!

who ever wrote that article got his facts wrong.

yes there was a price drop, yes it was $100 on the pro and elite. but not to the prices they said, it was infact alot cheaper.

the pro model dropped to AUD399(US $254) NOT AUD499

the Elite model dropped to AUD499(US $318) NOT AUD599

just go to ebgames.com.au and look for yourself..

just thought i'd clear that up for any Aussies out there =)

You mean you got an Arcade, not a Pro pack.

No I bought a 60GB Pro pack for $270.

Game had a sale on - Gears of War 2 included free of charge for $399 - EB price-matched and also let me trade that in for $95.70 along with the bundled Indiana Jones Lego and Kung Fu Panda games. So it actually only cost $270 for the console =)

The sale was only on for Tuesday and Wednesday this week (was advertised on the radio).
