I live in Panama. I bought my XBox in the US. I have access to games here but they are very expense. The XBox unit here goes for $480. Controlers are $40. Games run on average $75.
My husband went to El Salvador, they had games there too. He bought RalliSport Challenge there, I haven't seen it here in Panama yet.
I was just curious how many other people are from other parts of the world, other than the US?
What are the prices and availablity like in your country?

I'm in the UK and I have to buy my games from an import shop as I have a US XBOX the cost for a typical game is around £55 to £60, I only buy US games if I have to wait for months before the game is released over here ie WWF Raw will be released over here in November (funny though I got the game had a play and I really didn't like it so I got myself a refund LOL)
I also have a UK XBOX the games are around £39 to £45

I'm about 6 hours away from wweomaniac (near london, onario) and there are ons of great places to buy the system and games, Wal-mart (where I get most of m games), Future shop, cost-co, Zellers, EB (electronics boutique), and compu-centre
Off Topic, for wweomaniac
Hey wweomaniac the first time I went to Ottowa (and so far has been he last) I broke my ankle by jumping over my brother, not spraining, breaking! I walked on it for 4 hours and at 11:00PM my dad told me to take my sock off. My ankle was much! bigger then normal (hehe) went to the hospital and I had to wait an hour and half until someone finally looked at my ankle and then put a cast on it.
had a damn cast on for two weeks, that was one trip I don't think I'll ever forget but zctually want to forget :rolleyes: lol
I live in Australia, and there is a relatively well spread amount of stores stocking the XBOX console - I think all of the Coles-Myer chain, EB and most PC stores (I think), but it seems that just about everyone has the games...
Games cost $90 - $100 Aussie Dollars, so about $50 - $55 US
Console @ $388 - Everyone price matches the cheapest one!! $210 - $215 US.
Plus we have PAL, so our games are a higher res on a normal TV!

yeah ain't that the truth Halo looks a lot better on my PAL XBOX not that it didn't look bad on my US XBOX but with those extra scan lines it does look damn pretty

I'm from a small town near Toronto, Ontario and i just bought my X-Box last night. Being the small town that it is (population approx. 25,000), i was suprised as to how many units they had of the X-Box. Maybe because it was an Electronic Boutique.... but either way... no shortage in my part of the world...
oh yeah... first post... wooohhoooo!! :cool:

I live in Ottawa Canada and I like to head over to my local microplay. They let you preorder games for free (you get put on a list though so do it asap for popular games) and I find the people there acctually know things about video games.
