This thread is about Lemmings, not Sony.

If you haven't noticed it's switched for the most part.

Yes but Lemmings have a good reason. Sony is like a whipped dog with its tail between it's legs at this point in time.

GUESS WHAT ?! You're wrong... What a RUBBISH thread.

360 Premium - $575.00 (with two pads, PGR3 and DoA4, Remote Control, Ethernet Cable, etc)

= $473.00 USD

*OPTIONAL*

HD-DVD - $220 = $195.00 USD

Wifi - $169.00 = $150.00 USD

Xbox LIVE - $79.00 = $69.00 USD

All together = $887.00 USD

---------------------------

Keep in mind that these are Australian prices converted into USD, now, lets check out the PS3...

PS3 60BG - $1000.00

= $885.00 USD

*TO MATCH AU 360 PREMIUM*

Remote Control = $49.00 = $43.00 USD

Component Cable = $40.00 = $35.00 USD

Control Pad = $79.00 = $70.00 USD

2 Launch Games = $199.00 = $176.00 USD

All together = $1209.00 USD

Let's match Wii to AU 360 Premium, too...

Wii - 399.00 (with WiiSports)

= $353.00 USD

Wii Remote - $69.00 = $61.00 USD ($71.00 USD w/ WiiPlay)

2 Launch Games - $160.00 = $142.00 USD

Nunchuck - $30.00 = $26.00 USD

All together = $582.00 USD

So really us Australians get ripped off by everyone? :P

Haha, TOTALLY. It's rather unfortunate, but I suppose America is the biggest market, it's just a shame we have to pick up the slack... Nice blog entry btw!

I still find it funny that for the same bundles the Wii is more expensive than the 360 in USD

360 Premium pack - $473.00 USD

Wii (matching 360) - $582.00 USD

PS3 (matching 360) - $1209.00 USD

Got my 360 just before Christmas.

Actually, I didn't intend to buy it - I was going Christmas shopping and decided then and there that I wanted a Wii. I went to every store that wouldve sold them and they were all sold out.

Ended up getting annoyed, stormed into EB and picked up a premium pack that came with two games and two control pads, bought 5 games too (which I still havent finished...) :P

I now have 25 360 games! I've only finished two of them - Gears of War and BioShock (like, 30 minutes ago)!! I didn't realise how little time I have to play games when I made that purchase, lol.

The PS3 was delayed for 4 months here, it also still doesnt have any games I'd pay to play :roll:

The Wii will start dying off after people realize that there are no games for it. It's a Gamecube all over again.MaximumD

I don't see the Wii DYING off, sales will taper off though for sure.

I have plenty of friends and colleagues (casual gamers) who purchased Wii and think Wii Sports and Wii Play are enough and have no desire to purchase any other games - that's what should be worrying Nintendo.

360 will never outsell PS3 or Wii in Japan.Japanese people just won't buy American products. It's just their nature.Wacky_bo_Jacky

I'm suprised Microsoft haven't rolled out the big-time celebrities to endorse it in Japan, Japanese youth eat up celebrity as if it were going out of fashion.
