Japan Xbox One prices confirmed

4.5
Microsoft has finally officially confirmed Xbox One launch prices for games within Japan. While the Xbox One's predecessor had a lackluster reception in the country it appears Microsoft is hoping to avoid a repeat of last gen by offering launch bundles both with and without Kinect. Japan will be graced with the Xbox One formal launch on September 4th with the Kinect bundle for 49,980 yen (£291/$490) while a package without sensor will run consumers 39,980 yen (£233/$392).

Didact Absolutely disgusting how much we get charged here in the UK compared to other countries.


It's partly because the VAT is included while tax is not here in the US. Also to protect against currency drops and pay for current exchange.


aren't the prices the same? I am from America but the prices seem to be the same just different values due to the various values of the currencies.


No if you covert the currency at launch the xbox one was still over $100 US dollars more in the UK. Thank god I live in the US.


So basically the xbox one was $600 in the UK?
