Title: Re: Then and now pricing Post by: phoenix1967 on August 25, 2005, 08:42:19 PM Yes. Verrrry innnnteresting! It makes the 360 look very appropriately priced at $299.
I'd bet that if game prices were reviewed, most were probably $29.99 to $49.99 in the day. Title: Re: Then and now pricing Post by: Izret101 on August 25, 2005, 08:47:04 PM Well then you figure people here are complaining about the 360 pricing when it is being released in Europe for the same price.
So 399 GBP = approx 720 USD. I feel bad for you guys '"across the pond". Title: Re: Then and now pricing Post by: Arrrhalomynn on August 25, 2005, 09:45:46 PM no, it won't be sold for 399 pounds. It will be sold for 399 euros though, which is 513 US dollars.
Title: Re: Then and now pricing Post by: captain_nintendo on August 26, 2005, 07:02:04 AM GameCube launched in 2001 for $199.99

Title: Re: Then and now pricing Post by: The Metamorphosing Leon on August 26, 2005, 08:22:38 AM Its suprising that prices have gone up as much as they have since 2001.
