News - Xbox 360 to be about $300, plus other tidbits
Posted by Josh Freund at 11:54:10 AM EST on 5.27.2005.

In a recent interview with TheStreet.com, Microsoft's J. Allard revealed some new info regarding the Xbox 360, including the potential price range:

-Xbox 360 will be priced "in the neighborhood" of $300, though it will probably be another 2 months before the final price is decided.

-Contrary to Bill Gates's statement that Sony and the PlayStation 3 will walk right into Halo 3 when they launch, Allard said that Halo will be released "when it's ready."

-The chips for the Xbox 360 are in production right now, but the actual consoles aren't being made yet.

-Clarifying his "1 billion" statement from E3; he said that was more like an inspirational comment for the video game industry as a whole. 1 billion gamers is a goal for the industry (not 1 billion Xbox 360 gamers).

The Xbox 360 is currently scheduled to be released sometime in November, in time for the holiday season, in North America, Europe, and Japan.

Very cool.
I spit in the face of the idiot at school who said it was going to be over 500$s.

I said 300-400 for all of the new consoles. Cheaper maybe but i doubt higher.
1 down 2 to go

Just in time for my b-day, too. Dec 5.

I'm guessing that it'll probably cost 299-319 for the version without the hard drive, and about 399-419 for the version with it.

I can wait. I'm more excited about the price drop on all the original Xbox games. Hopefully this will happen.

oh, and I'd also like to agree with Anthony and Sauza that they are indeed both tools.

I'll bet the hand I masturbate with that they're going to raise the price.
