I would say sucked in to all the people who bought it before the drop but M$ are trying to keep these people as customers

"Mr Bowman said the price drop would take effect on April 26 and any customers who had already purchased the Xbox at full price would receive $250 worth of Xbox products as a gift."

er, somebody can't count

399-100=299 i.e. still twice the price of the GCN. unless the typo was in a different place, meaning -200 and presumably entitling you to four free games and two free controllers. The third option is you all wasted £100.

Did you use a currency converter for that? Coz I know that the Australian prices are wrong. The xbox was $650 (well, still is ATM) and is going to $400. The games are $99. That will make it the same price as the GC and its games.
