Microsoft Corp. will offer the gaming and entertainment console Xbox 360,
which offers Xbox LIVE service, at a new low price in the United States.
Beginning Sept. 5, Xbox 360 Arcade will retail for the estimated retail
price of $199.99, the Xbox 360 console for $299.99, and Xbox 360 Elite for
$399.99. Xbox 360 offers games, movies, and TV shows, which can run live
side-by-side with your personal pictures and music library.
Microsoft
believes that over 75% of all console sales happen after the price falls
below the $200 mark. For millions of consumers who have been waiting for
the perfect time to buy an Xbox 360 console, their moment has finally
arrived, says Microsoft.
"We are
thrilled to be the first next-generation console on the market to reach
$199, a price that invites everyone to enjoy Xbox 360," said Don Mattrick,
senior VP of the Interactive Entertainment Business at Microsoft. "Xbox
360 delivers amazing performance at an extraordinary value with the
leading online service and best lineup of games, downloadable movies, and
TV shows available from a console.”
Xbox 360
Arcade plus a 12-month Xbox LIVE Gold Membership and a Netflix
subscription costs $100 less than 12 months of digital cable.
Xbox 360
will deliver streaming movies and TV shows. Starting this fall, Xbox 360
is the only game console, says Microsoft, to offer instant streaming of
more than 12,000 feature films and television shows from Netflix.
