Xbox 360 to Retail for Around $300
J. Allard, Microsoft Corporate VP, and Chief XNA Architect, has confirmed that the Xbox 360 will have a price similar to that of the original Xbox.
In an interview with thestreet.com, J Allard confirmed that the Xbox 360 will retail for a price similar to that of the Xbox's launch price.To read the whole interview, click here.
I gasped a huge sigh of relief, because until this point I had only seen the Amazon pre-sell price of $1000. Let's face it, a grand is a lot of money for a game console, especially considering that you can now buy a decent PC for about the same price.
Allard went on to boast that they will be releasing the console to all three major continents for the same Holiday Season. This is unprecedented.
Sony still plans to counter with their latest release, although this time they won't be privileged to the 19 month head start that they were lucky enough to receive prior to the first release of the original Xbox.
The bottom line is that Allard wouldn't confirm a set price just that it would be around the same price as the original Xbox. Hey man, I can afford $300, bring it on!
