Microsoft Sets Price for Xbox 360 Versions

quote:

Microsoft Corp. said its next-generation Xbox 360 game console would cost $299 to $399 when the device is launched this holiday season. The $299 version will come with a wired controller, but will not have the 20-gigabyte hard-disc drive, wireless controller, headset, Ethernet cable and wireless television remote control included in the $399 version. Sony Corp., which said it would launch PlayStation 3 in the spring, has not released a price for its new console. "This will put pressure on Sony come holiday of 2007 because by then Microsoft will cut their premium price to $299 or below, while the PS3 will still be north of $399," said P.J. McNealey, an analyst at American Technology Research. Meanwhile, Nintendo Co. cut $20 off the price of its Dual Screen hand-held console to $129.99.

Time for me to start saving up for the $400 bundle.......currently taking donations.

400 American eh. They put out that 300 dollar version but you get nothing with it so why would they even do that. You might as well splurge for the 400 dollar version.

Probably to make more profit in the long run when the $300 bundle buyers decide to do some upgrading. Because with the $400 bundle and everything that comes with it, the buyers are getting a hell of a deal.

im pretty sure im still getting it- even with the high price.

the bundle is a good a deal- the only rant i have is the $50 controller. how the hell am i gonna have my room-mates play halo with me?! 50 bucks is a bit ridiculous. i can only hope that the old controllers will somehow work --- some type of adapter perhaps

Oh yeah! Can't wait!!!

Now they just need to tell us when it's coming out.

Fuck, anyone remeber how expensive the orginal one was at launch?

I got an xbox a day or two after it came out and it was like close to 600. Now I see xbox's for like 100-200, ouch. I'm gonna get fucked again here... Sigh.

all you have to do is wait for it don't worry the good games never come out in the first year

You didn't get fucked; it's all market depreciation...
Just wait until you get older and actually buy big ticket items, then you can complain! lol...

Guys... I think I'm going to be poor after this system.

You and me both.

I'm just wondering how useless the memory card is. Who would actually just buy that?

For some reason, I don't think the "bonus material provided at stores" will be anything useful.

only thing that would be good about it is transferring your files over to someone else's home, like say in sports games where you have a profile

And I thought that I read that you can save tons of info about your Xbox Live profile on the Memory Cards, too.

expensive but i know i'll end up buying the $400 package. I hope EB, gamestop, or any store for that matter don't force u to buy additional accessories and games if you want to buy it from them, that pisses me off.

Im a little pissed that Microsoft chose to race to get another new console out on the market, when the current Xbox still has at least another year of life left.

Still, the X360 does look pretty badass.
