The other consoles were £209.99 and £249.99 on release day. I bought my elite for £220. There were loads of deals about. Its totally irrelevant now anyway.
paid £280 for my 360 on release day ended up spending £400 as needed batteries etc for the pads....
and i dont get why people say xbl is far better than psn. i always thought the same until i actually got a ps3 ( a fair while after release)
it blew me away. even on a crappy connection at the time i had 0 lag yet on my 360 with the same games, mainly cod 4 and graw i suffered with bad lag even with opened ports.
the standard xbl head site is terrible sounded like you were talking into a sponge yet the ps3 even with a cheap £10 blue tooth head set sounded like talking on a phone. and now with ps+ and free games its surpasses xbl just a shame theres no cross game chat.
