Damnit Microsoft, why couldn't you do it earlier in the month. Now Thanksgiving is going to be Girlfriend Home From College Fun Time VS. X360 Fun Time.

Thank god it isn't black friday though. I dislike the crowds.

Couldn't they have made it a week earlier to coincide with the Xbox's 4th anniversary?

Japan gets GOOD pricing decisions...

In addition to confirming a launch price of 37,900 YEN (almost $350 USD) for Xbox 360, Microsoft's predictably avoiding a dual SKU launch in the land of the rising sun. Japan will receive one version of Xbox 360 loaded with the removable 20GB HD, wireless controller, an media remote control, an headset, an ethernet cable, batteries and a component HD-AV cable.

But they're only sending 2 systems to Japan, so they can afford the $50 extra in losses.

I can't believe MS is giving America the big FU! That's like biting the hand that feeds you.

And the JP price is cheaper than the launch prices of both the PS1 and PS2.<
