It says Xbox is 399 euros?? Its $399 here. That means Microsoft is making a much higher margin in Europe. I don’t think thats accurate. ---

Already stated that wasn’t hinting at any prices. I would think that it will be $400 like the 360. ---

Games are what sell consoles… Well theres rumor that nintendos whole library is going to be available on this next console, still very curious about it. E3 should explain just about everything. As far as the price of a PS3 i think im gonna try to get my hands on one only to sell it for 300% markup. ---

As long as you have one of the first few shipments i guaranteee those will be going for 1000 on ebay. And yes an E3 road trip would be the cat’s meow. ---

Yeah, I’m begninning to think console manufacturers are quickly losing sight of what a console was supposed to be. (i.e. Not a supercomputer) ---

> [@FuzzyFish](#): > > Yeah, I’m begninning to think console manufacturers are quickly losing sight of what a console was supposed to be. (i.e. Not a supercomputer) Hence the reason im waiting for the nintendo, not beacause i think its going to be a bawler computer, but i think its going to be mad fun. I have faith in those japs. ---

Exactly the only system I’m interested in thus far. If I want realistic graphics I’ll walk outside. ---
