We finally know how much the Xbox is going to cost! This is about what I expected.
Xbox 360 will cost £279.99 or EUR 399.99 in Europe, Microsoft has just told an audience at the Games Convention event in Leipzig. That is the main package, including 20GB hard disk, wireless controller, headset, Ethernet cable, high-definition television cable and wireless television-style remote control. The US price is $399.99.
A second package, called the Xbox 360 Core System, will be released at the same time, consisting of the bare bones console and a wired controller, for £209.99 or EUR 299.99. The US price for that is $299.99.
I’ll probably be going with the main package myself. I’d personally want to buy all that stuff it comes with anyway. Only a few more months!
Once upon a time, you expected two controllers and a free flagship game when you purchased a console. Since when did consumers take crap like this in the ass and enjoy it too? Most of those things should be standard on a modern console.
I did not want to make another post of this, but it looks like Amazon had a listing up for the PS3 at $299.99 american.
That’s not so bad.
