800 euros ? 😂 I remember the og Xbox costing 400 on release and that seemed like a lot at the time. For this price I don't see a reason to go for a console instead of a computer. 800 euros. what, lol

699 dollars should be 633 euros at today's exchange rate (1.10258), and that would already be wildly expensive

$400 in 2001 currency is worth $708 today. So about a 12% price rise.
