So the price on Amazon today, £599 for the Xbox one. Where have they pulled this price from? Seems very expensive! Hopefully not accurate...
Xbox One
Platform »
The Xbox One is Microsoft's third video game console. It was released on November 22nd 2013 in 13 countries.
UK Price £599
It's clearly a holding price. They put it so high because when Microsoft finally do announce the price they can knock £100 off their original pre-order price rather than having to email people to say "sorry, it's actually more expensive"

It's the estimated highmark. No official price has been announced. Amazon could be legally held to its lowest pricetag by preordering customers. In order to avoid legal troubles, retailers highball it.
Nothing to be worried about. It's very likely going to be less pricey.
It mentions it on the website that it is a placeholder and will change the price when it is announced.
Yeah maybe you should change the title of the thread to something more appropriate...'Amazon estimates Xone price at....' for example.
I just googled it and it says $774.75 US dollars....
Neither console maker will price that high.
Holy shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks man

Eh, I'd say more like $650. Europe always gets shafted on pricing and we get nowhere near the actual exchange rate.

It's closer to 900 dollars isn't it?
@philipduck: Well, it says right there that it is just a placeholder price. I reckon it's probably slightly lower than that unless this would be a bundle of some sort but what kind of bundle I'm not sure
