Microsoft Sets Price for Xbox 360 Versions

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.

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

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...
