Gamespot says that the price drop is only confirmed for the U.S., but I live in Canada. Anyone think that the price drop will come into effect in Canada on the same day?

I know it's like $100 more for the same XBox and our dollar has been almost as strong as theirs lately. Anyways, as long as there's a price drop in Canada I'll be temporarily satisfied.

Point well made

but seriously its really really about how the companys will sell in what countries, the statistic in 2003 was that every 4/5 house holds had a video game console in the US, so companies see that and base all of there hard work and price cuts in the US becasue thats were the money is to be made, but it should be the same all around the world, i really dont understand that, a customer is a customer no matter where he lives

True, however when the 60 gig ps3 is $550 and the 20 gig xbox360 is $500, what is microsoft thinking?

Yeah, I was waiting for an Xbox price drop after Sony announced the PS3 one. The prices got too close for my comfort.

thats really unacceptable, and i dont understand that at all, the only way all those people could be heard is if they boycott, that way Microsoft would see that it has to treat there customers the same no matter where they live
