If they keep up the price war, then you can bet many Germans will be online playing the best console this gen. Kudos!

Wow!

Wasn't it like 299 euros? That's a good drop.

Yes it was 299, so if you plan to get a Ps3 do it now, it wont last long!
Aldi started it with a bundle (second dualshock and wipeout HD fury) for 299€. Media Markt followed with the 240€ deal (console only, no games included). At the end (as always) Amazon lowered the price to counter Media Markt (also 240€) but gave you Borderlands free on top!! Unfortunately the Borderland bundle isn't available anymore.

PS3 costs $560 here in Iceland, lucky Germans. :P (It was about $730 at launch here, I bought it at that price, it was and still is worth it :P)

It's 309€ if you get it over Home and Hardware. Go to "55 neu ab EUR 238,99" and choose the first one, it's Amazon, a new one of course, and only 240€

I think they're just hating on us vikings, 'cause y'know, we looted all their stuff back in the day. Now they have new stuff and are viking free so they make us vikings pay extra for getting them.

That's my theory at least. :P

That's the truth. Just go look at the comments on the article about the $100 gift card at Walmart. That one was full of desperation theory idiots.

So with that logic then I guess the 360 is worth 5 peso's Yea yea that's about right. Wait did I just say you had logic I must be slipping at this late an hour. To put it in playground terms your a dummy fuddy. And now in adult terms, mommie says your a mistake.

Obviously the 360 is selling less worldwide because people are waiting for the price to be dropped down to what it's worth, free with a 300 dollar rebate to cover the extra expenses you need to waste on it.

The Xbox 360 (and the Wii) are getting killed in Germany by the PlayStation 3.

Xbots are so so sooo owned these days. Pathetic.

Sony has nothing to do with these pricecuts. It is the huge german retailers that are fighting amongst themselves. Good for consumers. Good for gamers. Good for Sony.

Microsoft is getting killed these days. No price cut on earth will bring sales back for that piece of crap they call the Xbox 360. Microsoft failed another console generation. What else is new?

DK_Kithuni_71 - 46 days 10 hours ago

..Microsoft does not give a rats ass about consumers and their hardware and software are piss poor.

Why has the RROD-issue never been fixed?
Why are there no new IP'S?
Why does it cost money to play on-line?
Where is the Blu-ray?
Where is the Wi-Fi?
Where is the HD?

Fanboy or not. Only a true idiot would buy an Xbox 360. Period.

EasilyTheBest you need to look again cause you don't know what your talking Sony cares a hell of alot more then Microshit does.

1.RROD M$ haven't fix it yet what is taking them so long to fix one simple problem?

Answer:Microshit is preying to god that it won't happen again but it does alreally is shows that M$ doesn't care.

2.Xbot don't have any new IPs why do fans care?

Answer:Xbot fans cares because there going to be the ones buying the new IP so this shows you a dumbass EasilyTheBest.

3.Microshit online services cost money to play with your friends,also xbot live is helping M$ get money why haven't Sony doing the same thing?

Answer:Microshit is a greedy company and all they think about is money, now with Sony they want to give that power over to the consumers to support their fanbase like the consumers did to the PS2.

4.Microshit don't have any Blu-ray or HD-DVD player in there xbot's why?

Answer:There no such thing is no need for Blu-ray or HD-DVD thats a lie EasilyTheBest M$ was talking with Toshiba for HD-DVD in there console in tell they stop because M$ is too damn cheap to put them in side of 360, thats why have Sony PS3 with Blu-ray players built in them.

5.EasilyTheBest Question and Answer:You pay extra for Wi-Fi.. Sony has it built in.. Sony cant get the cost down any lower because of all the built in extras.. Good move by MS.. Can keep the 360 cheaper at retail and make money on each console UNLIKE SONY.

5.My Answer: the real reason Microshit charge extra for Wi-Fi cause their trying to milk xbot for every last drop of what its worth which is not worth it.

Sony have built in Wi-Fi cause they just don't want your money and be like M$ but they want you to invest your money for a 10 year life cycle in the PS3.

6.M$ have no HD games all the games are in 480p by upscaling and EasityTheBest don't believe what M$ said in blogs,website articles cause their lying.

7.sky on the 360 well PS3 have free online also we have a web bowser so what else is new for 360 then nothing.
