This is apparently happening here in Australia also.
That means my Xbox works out to be REALLY expensive now!!! Um... about $800 Au (including Munch and the cost of power converter). I'm sure I aren't able to get the bonus stuff!!!
Oh well... "Being able to play Munch's Oddysee 4 months before release in Australia ... priceless!". To be honest, it really doesn't bother me that I paid a lot more.
Although I do know why they are having to do this, with the upcoming release of the GameCube, apparently it is only going to cost about $500Au (on launch) ... and seeing the PS2 has dropped a lot since it came out, Microsoft dropping their price is the only way that they will be able to compete in the console market.
