Question

Answer 1

Xbox 360 - the "premium" system - "If you're a serious gamer looking for the ultimate console, the search ends here. Xbox 360 is fully loaded. It's the unsurpassed gaming and entertainment experience right out of the box delivering the Ultimate gaming and entertainment experience for the best value."
$400
Xbox 360 Core System - "Xbox 360 Core System delivers the same powerful gaming as Xbox 360 but starts with the basics and lets you expand at your own pace. It’s everything you need to hit the ground running. Plug in the console and the controller and you're playing. Then decide what extras you add—it's expandable to the full Xbox 360 experience."
$300

Answer 2

Following intense speculation Microsoft UK have finally announced the Xbox 360 price point. The basic console is £209.99 while the HD-equipped "premium" model is £279.99. But Microsoft is gambling by splitting its market.

By having a dual price point the company risks creating a two-tier 360 ownership that will make it harder for developers to properly know who to target when adding new features. This is especially dangerous when you consider the emphasis Microsoft has placed on Live/online gaming for 360.

Also, optional hardware add-ons have rarely worked in the gaming market.

The £279.99 model includes:

-- Xbox 360 console (with, ahem, "signature metallic detailing on the console itself")

-- 20 GB and detachable hard drive (20 GB)

-- Xbox 360 Wireless Controller

-- Xbox 360 Faceplate

-- Xbox 360 Headset

-- Xbox 360 Component HD-AV Cable

-- Xbox Live Silver membership

-- A bonus Media Remote that lets you access your content on your PC.

The standard model includes the console, wired controller, faceplate and standard AV cable.

The Xbox 360 will launch "before Christmas".

So £280 then? It's a lot of cash, but the core gaming market will pay up and it gives MS scope for a price drop when the PS3 launches.

But how punters react to the two price points will be very interesting indeed. Will the hard drive be enough of an incentive to pay extra?

Answer 3

Well they have bundles, which is what I'm getting, for the premium console, hard drive, 2 wireless controllers, a charger of em, and PGR racing for like $500. That's a great deal for all that. But for just a console, it is either like $300 or $400 based on if you get the premium with the hard drive of not. I would recommend the 360, too, it's a great game console.
