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.

[Arrrhalomynn]

I bet they'll try to sell it here for 450 euros.

Guess I better start saving.  I am such a god damned tool.

Gods damn it. I forgot they were going to have a system with and w/o harddrive.

Now i have to save up for each. I am such a god damned tool.

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

[den68]

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

[Vladimir]

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