How much will MS be losing on each box sold?

What I thought was more interesting was the fact that they were prepared to drop the cost of some of the games & memory cards! http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/54/25286.html That should kick start it finally.

Of course, whether these reductions will drift across the pond to Europe is another thing.

Yep thats interesting all right, is there mods available to allow import games on the European Xbox yet?

They're closing down the factory in hungary and opening one in south china. Wonder if this will effect the quality of the product.

People must cringe after buying things like that at full price - I hope it will follow over here soon.

Remember reading a review somewhere that if they dropped the price in oz they were going to give customers who bought the xbox before vouchers for more xbox games.
