LOS ANGELES - Microsoft Corp, plans to cut the price of its best-selling Xbox 360 Pro model by $50, to $299 in the next few weeks, the Hollywood Reporter reported citing anonymous sources.
(MSNBC is a joint Microsoft - NBC Universal venture.)
The price cut for the Xbox 360 model with the 20 gigabyte hard drive will come before the video game industry's biggest trade show, E3, taking place in Los Angeles on July 15-17, the report said.
I'm not a big gamer, but that's bound to put added pressure on Sony's PS3. Sony revealed that it is losing billions of dollars on its PS3 sales due to increased production costs and selling each unit for below what the R&D and costs are.
its always been like that. consoles the companies take a hit on, as they lose money. its the games, which cost bugger all to produce, where they make their dough back.
At the moment I'm tossig up between the 360 and a PS3, with the Wii falling out of the fight because it's only really fun when you've got other people around. Cheapest I can find a PS3 for is on play asia website for $449US for the 40gb version. The only negative is it can't play PS2 games and only region coded blu ray movies, it plays any type of PS3 games though. And defniately think the 360 is still too over priced.
I have the original Xbox too, mine's chipped. Play all sorts of stuff on that.
Just havent worked out how to get PS2 or PSP games on it (I'm sure you can some how).
360 is mod-able, but can't play it on live after that.
hopfully the ps3 will drop to that price, then I will for sure get one
You'll be waiting a while for a PS3 to drop to anywhere near that sort of a price...although Sony are giving them away free here in Australia this month (by redemption) with sales of their full HD Bravia LCD's at the moment...I'm SOOOOOO TEMPTED!!!
Oooh...How much does a Sony Bravia cost? What size is the minimum you can get?
The 40gb versions are selling on ebay for about $600 so even if you didn't want the PS3 and "needed" to get a new LCD TV and wanted to sell the console, it would mean effectively paying $1200i.e 30% off!
I've got a bunch of N64 games SNES games on my x-box, not sure how to do it as my bro did it. It's awesome playing Goldeneye, Mario Brothers and Mario Kart! Got an emulator with every NES game ever released, but haven't tried to transfer it to the X-box yet! Can anyone say Double Dragon III!
I've got a **** load of roms, but havent moved them over to my Mod-Box yet.
I loved playing DD3 years ago, when I got into Emulating, I finished it! Could never get passed the Marion in the end, she kept whooping me.
Thank god for Save State & Reload State!!!!
I downloaded a 1.4GB file to burn to DVD which basically when you fire up the Mod-Box, it formats it, and creates all partitions/drives, and installs all aps, and emulators, the lot!
Just need to fill up my 200GB drive now!
