Well isn’t this a nice suprise… I just received a press release from Microsoft announcing a local price cut for the Xbox 360.
The new RRP for the Arcade model is R1999 (R700 off), The Pro is now sitting at R2999 (R700 as well) and the Elite at R3999 (R600 off)….
I said earlier that breaking the R2000 bracket is a very important psychological mark and I am very happy to see Microsoft put their money where their mouth is.
With the Wii being over...
Xbox 360 Pro with a free game (Halo3) for R2799.

So that is under 180 pounds for a Pro/Premium with Halo 3...
Not bad. Cheaper that the Wii over here!
Not really sure about this.
Over here in Sunny South Africa, the Wii's are gathering dust on shelves... Maybe because they are more expensive that the 360 arcade over here? (and 360 arcade ships with 2x 360 classic games).
So if you want one for xmas, come to Africa for a holiday and pick one up. :-)
R10 = $1
So R1000 per game = $100 per game.... almost double.
Total RIP off.
