expected

 

[dugweb]

they act like that is an outrageous amount. both xbox and ps2 were released at that... and i think ps1 was released at like 350

 

[rh71]

games at $60 + tax is what I'm balking at...

Sorry but at $66 per game, I'm going to be REAL picky...

 

[ElFenix]

and the xbox is still at $199, which is outrageous. i've been waiting years for the price to drop on that and ps2 and neither has happened.

Just wait for the price drops. Don't buy games immediately. I might make an exception for Halo 3.

What the fvck are you talking about? It hasn't been $199 in over a year.

How long before we can mod one of these suckers?

Wallmart slaps an unsurprising price-tag on the 360...

Unconfirmed reports stemming from Walmart employees have today suggested a North American retail price for the Xbox 360 and its launch titles, allegedly set to arrive in shop stores on November 4th.

Naturally a smidgeon of sceptism should be maintained until Microsoft makes an official announcement, however the $299.99 price point hardly appears to be out of the bounds of possibility and suggests a pound/dollar equation when Microsoft's next-gen format is launched upon UK shores later in the month. As widely believed games appear to be slightly more expensive then many would hope with the likes of Perfect Dark Zero and Project Gotham Racing 3 marked at $59.99.

We'll have further information soon.

I'd rather have my free xbox-live silver than mod it. Not worth it.

the $300 price tag is what I expected and I read about this yesterday. The $60 price tag was always rumored as well, but it still isn't official if this is legit or anything.

But if the games are $60, like you said, I will be pretty picky about what I get. I figure they may start out at $60 then drop to $50 like normal console games after a short while ... hopefully

Correct me if I'm wrong but weren't n64 games 70 dollars?

 

[FoBoT]

i need to email santa claus about this
thanks

 

[everman]

$250 Would have been the lowest I would have thought, $300 is "reasonable" & to be expected in this case.

 

[PawNtheSandman]

If you remember, Nintendo 64 was $300 when it came out.

No, maybe on a rare occasion, but I never paid $70 for one myself.
