Following last week’s price drop in the US, Microsoft also lowers the console’s price in Europe: starting this Friday, the Arcade version (no hard drive, one wired controller) will be available for 180€, while the 60GB Premium console goes for 240€ and the 120GB Elite for 300€.
As a reminder, a crappy Wii that only has a couple ugly games worth playing (what, me, biased?) still costs 250€, and the cheapest PS3 is 390€ on Amazon.
For 180€ you could have a console that can play these gorgeous, fun games online with your friends (if you make them buy Xboxes too):
If you’ve got a high-definition TV, you really have no excuse not to get an Xbox. Get on it, people. (Come on, it’s me, recommending a Microsoft system; there’s got to be a good reason. And this is not a paid message.)

Euh, Geometry Wars 2 ? Pas sûr que j'en aie parlé, c'est pas vraiment mon style de jeu.

Sam confond peut-être avec RezHD.
Et la Wii a un truc que ma très chère Xbox n'aura jamais : Mario Kart.

Oh, oui, j'ai oublié Rez ! Honte à moi.

Il vaut mieux la version avec disque dur, non ?

Le meilleur rapport qualité prix est la version avec 60 Go, oui, mais pour quelqu'un qui ne passe sa vie dans les jeux vidéo la version Arcade est tout à fait viable (contrairement à ce que les geeks des jeux vidéo aiment à crier).
