I Am Pissed (A poor european gamer complaint): The Thread

[Nesh]

As some of you may have noticed from another thread (wanting opinion on which console to get) I am short on cash.

I was checking amazon (I dont trust ebay) considering to import a 360 since its much cheaper than buying directly from my country. I am not planning to get it now, but its easier for me to collect the needed cash sooner if I can import the US 360.

So what do I notice? They dont ship electronic devices outside the US

Hey some do almost nothing and earn millions and even buy 360s and PS3 just to smash them on a pavement and post pictures of them. I am trying hard to get a degree here so I ll become productive for capitalism, and tried to work for some extra cash during summer for my gaming needs (almost broke my back too) which all ended up going to my university expenses at the end. DAMN CAPITALISM I TELL YAH!

Go for www.videogamesplus.ca
It's in Canada, very good place, I usually import my stuff from that place. Gamestop is also pretty good place to import stuff.

I'd usually recommend Lik-Sang but well, Sony ran them over with a steamroller...

Thread moved

I moved this to the General Discussion forum, seeing the nature of the discussion.
I also changed the thread title accordingly, if you all don't mind, for great justice.

Where do you live Nesh? and how much X360 costs there?

 

[Nesh]

In dollars a 360 costs around $550
In Euros it costs at around 420 eu

In US its half the price!!!

(btw the new thread title cracked me up )

Well 399$ is about 305€ right now, but with shipping and you guys probably have some customs fees too. So in the end It probably won't be that much cheaper, if any.

Here is my PS3 for only US$ 3,487.00 (2.15 conversion rate) http://www.submarino.com.br/games.asp?Query=NextLevelPage&ProdTypeId=12&CatId=57718&PrevCatId=57718

Now add this 40XBR2 HDTV for only US$ 18,604.00 http://www.fastshop.com.br/product.aspx?src=home&product_id=SOCJ52CRU&dept_id=531

I will have to kill a few lions in the work. That is OK but half the lions are on vacation, 1/3 are protected by ecological NGOs and the remaining are my friends.
So, no PS3 with XBR2 for Xmas
