hopefully they will do a comp like the "every 10 minutes" thing or the canadian equivelent (can't remember what its called), because there is no way i'm paying over $400 for a console, (haven't yet).
the ps2 and xbox launched at around $750-800 where i live and within a month the xbox dropped down to about $400 i think the ps2 didn't drop as fast (being the only one on the market at the time)

Yeah, I'm going to do something like that too...I don't have a PS2 or GC so I'll wait until both the PS3 and Revolution are out. If the Revolution isn't as cheap as Nintendo's hype suggests I'll just buy a cheap GC until they all drop in price. By then the real Zelda (TP) will be out, too...

PS2 was closer to 900 in New Zealand. I got mine about 5 days after launch and with a 1 year HP, 2 controllers and 2 games I ended up paying 1600 bucks.
for a ps2.... wtf was I thinking.

well MS is calling it a world wide launch, when it's not. The original XBOX was delayed for a ludicrous amount of time from memory though.

PS2 - $750
Xbox - $650, dropped to $450 within a month
Gamecube - $399, dropped to $329 before launch.
So it's in line with the original Xbox. Pity about the peripheral prices - I was spot on with the predictions I made, though. Guess the best thing that comes out of the wait is the larger launch lineup, because I don't have much interest in what's available for the US/EU launches - that and I start a new job in January, and have plenty of time to save.

I assure you, my figures are correct. Even dug up some old news articles to back them up.

Where I live the XB360 Premium Pack will cost around 484 USD -- no bundle. The games will go for almost 80 USD a piece. It ain't cheap, I'll tell you. Damn taxes.

Why is there no confirmation on a Live Headset and Component cables for the Aussie Premium pack?
MS is doing a piss poor job on press releases/maintaining its website.
