Gameplay just emailed me with details of three X-Box pre-order options, and prices are just silly:
1) X-Box on its own - £297.99
2) Xbox Accelerator Pack: Xbox, 2 Controllers, Project Gotham Racing and Amped - £396.99
3)Xbox Combat Pack: Xbox, 2 Controllers, Halo and Dead or Alive III - £396.99
Bloody expensive!
Of course, add another £30 to the amounts above for memory cards. Frankly I'm disappointed to see the memory card rip off scam continue with the X-Box's launch. A memory card should be included with every console, instead of being priced seperately at ludicrous charges the manufacturer knows every buyer will pay, simply because without them there's no point to buying the machines.
There can be no way that a memory card can justify a price tag of almost £30 as in the PS2's case - unless its insides are constructed from pure gold.
