If they charge £600 in the UK, then its probably $600 in USA. They normally do a direct change in pricing and dont actually bother converting $ to £.

Not sure if this was added recently or if folks just aren't looking, but it clearly states the following:
"Please note that there are no official prices announced for Xbox One products. The price stated above is a placeholder. With our Pre-order Price Guarantee, you can order now and if the Amazon.co.uk price decreases between the time you place your order and the release date, you'll be charged the lowest price."
EDIT:
Forgot to copy the second part, written in bold under the product description:
"Please Note: We do not yet have a release date for Xbox One. This is a placeholder only."

Well then I really doubt you will be pursuaded. I'm pretty sure(keep in mind this is 100% guess) that they will be around $500.StriderShinryu said:
I won't buy one at any price. The only reason I would ever get a next gen console is because of Infamous Second Son, and is that on the X1, no so no X1 for me.
How much is the kinect by itself?KarmaTheAlligator said:
I didn't put that because I assume that Microsoft will act like it's just part of the console and not an extra accessory. Seeing as how they made it mandatory anyway.
Bwahah, BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAH!!!
No. If this is indeed the price, the Xbone just comitted seppuku. Again. I'd rather buy a gamecube than an Xbone.

Non-gamers aren't going to buy something they ASSUME will be a game console. Microsoft alienated gamers. So what's their target audience?
Certainly. The only way I expect there to be any One release at or near $300 ia if MS does one of two things. Either they release a contract version in partnership with a provider service (like, say, a cable company) or if they create a barebones version to go along with the regular "deluxe" version. If it's the first, which I actually see as fairly likely if not at launch then shortly after, screw that. Contracts with service providers are not good things, ever. If ir's the second, I would not be too offended at all. Most of what doesn't appeal tro me with the One is the extra ladelled on stuff. If there was a more limited version that is still functional as a games console, I might be interested.The_Lost_King said:
Right now, it's ranging between ?100 and ?150 (so probably give or take ?20). So considering the one included with the Xbone is the "new and improved" one...Dragonbums said:
Yeah its not the real price! Should have realised that when the games are all priced at £90! I bet though that it will be expensive! £400 max! I expect consoles to be fairly expensive as they're supposed to last for years (though no modern console is giong to last the same length as the retro consoles as they're not built to last anymore).
That being said I'm amazed that people spend £500 on an ipad! Especially as it will be replaced the following year!

I don't car if this is just a placeholder price, Fuck this console and the horse it rode in on. /rage
EDIT: The purpose of a console is that it is cheaper than a gaming PC and is, therefore, more casual friendly. But with a console more expensive than a gaming PC, there is no longer a reason to buy this thing.
If the price is accurate, it's unfortunate that a console manufacturer is basically inviting you to build a gaming PC that is far superior to the system they're selling in terms of graphical horsepower (and also happens to be a mid-high end computer). This is in light of the fact that the American version will likely be closer to 700 dollars as opposed to the actual conversion equivalent of what European customers are paying.
