The high euro price must be there to make up for the Low US price. Chances are the games will be alot more expensive as well.

I don't care though, the PS2 price has droped here and with Metal gear coming( not until next year for me ) and FFX I won't be touching a Xbox.

- Xbox - Microsoft + Internet connection + HD = Pirates dream console

Yeah, it doesn't make much sense. Question is if Microsoft thinks Xbox will appeal only to hardcore gamers in Europe and to a broader consumer segment in other markets. I belive the appeal to gamers regarding a certain system is similar between European and American markets, but perhaps not so for the Japanese/Asian market. Anyways Microsoft is screwing the European consumers.

If you ask me, that's a sign that Microsoft either views Europe as a negligible factor, or just plain doesn't care. Having something cost 1.5 times as much as it does here doesn't make much sense, unless they don't think they're going to be selling the units to anyone but hardcore gamers anyhow.

European launch in March at a price of 479 euros!! That really pisses me of. Aparently we need a console made in Europe just to get a good launch date and decent prices.
