    Your not ripped off you were happy to pay the price for a console that is cutting edge, new and very much at the time in high demand. Most high tech goods that come out you pay a premium first only later do prices come down to encourage demand and also costs to make come down

    Yeah who says console wars would help consumers eh

    Console wars do help consumers, well....the ones prepared to wait for the price drops at least! :cool:

    I want to see what offers there are at the end of this year, I'll be looking at either a PS4 or an XBox One then but not before.

    Did you buy direct from MS? If you bought in the last few weeks, perhaps ask - but be under no illusion, they have virtually zero obligation to offer a refund. If you bought 5 months ago (sounds like this is the case) then sorry, but no chance.

    I was surprised it was as much as that to be honest, makes me almost want to go buy a PS4 to play some of their games

    No. Its to do with the fact Microsoft have only lowered there price cos ps4 are winning the console battle. Now Microsoft panick and drop price forgetting about people who invested early.

    Feel ripped off.
    Everyone, and I'm sure you as well, know that early adopters pay the most. If you're feeling ripped off then you only have yourself to blame for that. But you now know that, don't you!
