Microsoft raises Xbox prices globally amid tariff uncertainty
-
It's funny tho. Europe has no new tariffs against China or other countries from where the consoles come. Yet, they raise prices for us too. Well, what, to say if not fuck you, microsoft and fuck you magastan? I'm not gonna pay for the tariffs an asshole who's not my president put in place in a country which is not mine.Maybe they don't want Americans to buy from those alternative sources either, e.g. ask my brother to pick up one of those cheap European consoles then figure out a way around the region lock.

I mean, even if you still used windows, the Xbox prices wouldn't matter for you in any way if you aren't interested in Xbox-Consoles.Yeah, but that wouldn't give us an opportunity to evangelize. Been gaming exclusively on GNU for 7 years now, BTW.

It’s like clockwork. You give capitalists an opportunity to mask a price hike under the guise of something else, and they’ll take it _every single time._ Money is the only language they speak.

Buddy Japan is the one that started it. Nintendo raised their prices for switch 2 last month.

Sony was the first to put up their prices.

Sony was the first to put up their prices.Except in the US. Wondering if they’ll pull the trigger on raising the US price now too

Could they be hoping to make up lost revenue in America by raising prices elsewhere? Seems daft.
