XBox 360 Price Revealed

XBox 360 Prices

$299 for the basic package or $399 for the extra shit that you'll eventually need to fully enjoy the system. Anyone who pays $400 or $450 (the rumored PS3 price) for launch hardware is getting anally raped. Anything over $300 for launch hardware is insulting. This announcement just confirms I won't be going near any new systems for at least a year after launch.

The more expensive deal actually makes more sense to get.....but I think I will just use my PC for games until the price becomes more reasonable or my parents buy me the system. They always buy me these systems when they first come out, and there are always flaws in them. I hate owning a system when it first is released.

[Your Mom]

While I want one we kinda got burned with buying a PS2 right away so I'm thinking about waiting this time around. I say this now and I am going to probably go nuts looking for one in November

You can buy the barebones unit for $299, and get a hard drive for just $99! Or you can buy the $399 version, get the system AND a hard drive and a bunch of other stuff Those sneaky Microsoft execs.

[Trav226]

I'll probably get the $399 one. It comes with a wireless controller, headset, and a hardrive. I already got $250 saved up from my summer job!

[The LBTN Express]

I'll wait till christmas, might buy one then

[oldskool]

Does the difference in drive door color mean anything, or is it just there to separate the core system from the loaded one or what?

The games are going to be about 60$ American.

[FLiam]

So, what is different about the two different packages?

Meh, £280 doesn't sound too bad, I'm getting it, don't care about the cost, it is going to be fucking brilliant.

[Media 2.0]

Well, looks like I'll just be buying a gamecube. (which are about 60$ now, in some places) And a bigger HD for my modded Xbox. I'll just wait for these prices to severely drop, which we all know they will.

[Miami Vice]

If I do bring myself to buy one it'll be the full monty. Doesn't make sense to go any other way.

[FunkAsPuck]

Possibly more power, but twice the power is a severe overstatement. Give or take though, I think all 3 consoles will be about even, so it doesn't matter too much, it's the games that matter. And since we know little about the games on any platform besides the names and a few screenshots/videos, I think I'll hang on until I do.

[Godfatha]

Here's hoping the first generation of the Xbox 360 doesn't have the same problems as the first generation of the Xbox did.

I STILL get "disc read error" on my Xbox....
