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.

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".

no, it won't be sold for 399 pounds. It will be sold for 399 euros though, which is 513 US dollars.

Its suprising that prices have gone up as much as they have since 2001.
