Seriously? They're giving out 2 free games and a controller if you already bought it? Geez, that would be nice to have in the states! :cool: (I guess you did pay a little more than us though)

BTW, where did you get this news?

a lot of folks on m.p.x are complaining (obviously the americans), but I think it's great.

I have made a lot of arguments about why the box is more expensive outside of U.S. Apparently I am full of sh*t.

I think MS is doing a great job to compensate especially with the smack talking a lot of non-US players have had to put up with in the forums.

BTW: I am an american gamer who certainly wouldn't shy away from 2 free games and a controller, but who actually paid a competitive price with the PS2

As a satisfied customer from the U.S. I bear no grudge against the Europeans, Aussies, and Japanese paying less for their XBOX. I just want EVERYONE to have access to the best console on the planet at a reasonable price.

Good move, MS!
