It isn't MS's fault that Eurozone has VAT. They can't just discount it by 20% and eat that money.

Taking into tax into account, it works out to be about 10% extra for those of us in the UK, which is pretty standard for most electronics. Electronics, in general, cost more here than in the US.
Yeah.
If you remove the 20% tax we get charged over here, it works out to be $555, or thereabouts.

Means it's running on PC. Boy, MS sure does love to lie, obfuscate, and deceive.

We'll see how much this Xbone rage actually translates to money lost. I'll believe it when I see it, and I hope that microsoft has some troubles when it comes to policies and ideas that I think are bullshit but I don't have high hopes for the bulk of consumers to have a self righteous stance if they have the 500 bucks to spend on a console. That whole idea of a 2 year subscription purchase method at 300 base +15x2yrs is what 660 bucks for the console before taxes of any kind.
Heh, 667 is 108 dollars more than the highest tax rate in the US, part of Arizona with 11.75%, which puts it at about 559. I think the average tax rate, if you get taxed at all, would put it around 530ish in the US.
It's pretty standard for all electronics over here. We pay extra for everything; smartphones, tablets, televisions, mp3 players, computer hardware, audio equipment, cameras, etc. - it's all priced higher than in the States.
If you take tax out of the equation, Microsoft is 'only' charging 10% extra in the UK, which is a pretty standard markup for electronics goods.

They didn't sayexclusive. So, who knows. I'm guessing this is part of MS paying them off.
PVZ:GW looks great!
But, more importantly.. Peggle 2! Finally. You took your time with that, Popcap.
