Xbox 360 price?

Is there any info on how much this beaty is gonna cost us

Only rumors and they say between $300 and $400. Should know for sure at E3 next week.

ive read that it could be over $500.

Never. That would be suicide for them.

that was only a rumored price. also rumored. there might be 2 different versions of the xbox 360.

Just a guess but the $300 mark sounds about right - probably followed by a £300 rip off price here in the UK.

If it follows the usual pattern, as in early adopters pay a premium price, it should probably shed a fair whack off it's tag a few months after launch just in time for the ps3 release.

that 300 $ mark sounds low to me. im thinking at least $399. this thing is going to cost a shitload to make..and ms now isnt going to be willing to take such a hit like they did with the first xbox. plus since they will most likely be the only one to release a new console this year..they will more than likely sell it a bit higher right now. guess we'll find out at e3.

Good point - i revise my guess to $399

if you would buy a pc that has that power it would cost you at least 1000€

Read that the reason M$ can offer such a beefed up system and actualy profit off it this time, is due to M$ owning all the equipment now and are not licensing it from Nvidia and I think Intel (was that who made there last processor for XboX 1?). M$ doesnt have to pay anyone else to make the XboX 360.

I saw an article in a couple of national newspapers yesterday in the UK (The Sun and I think The Star). They had the 3 consoles lined up (X360, PS3, N Revolution). The prices they had were pretty unbelievable.

They said £165 (GBPounds) for the X360, £199 for the PS3 and £80+ for the Revolution (That is what was actually put there).

I don't have a link as it was a newspaper, but I do know that when consoles are released over here normally at release they cost £300 (Normally the dollar amount with a pound sign attached).

Their basic comparison also said that the Xbox 360 is 5 times faster than 'a desktop PC' and the PS3 is 10! times faster than 'a desktop PC'. They didn't explain what the 'desktop PC' they were comparing them to was.

Could this be true that the 360 will be launched at nearly half the launch price of its predecessor (in the UK)?

definitly not less than the revolution I know.

only problem is you cant buy a pc to match it lol. the manufacturers even said its at least a yr ahead of pcs. not to mention a pc will never have the cell ppc processor that it uses. so in a yr a mac will match the 360 and ps3

On the contrary, they'll take a hit, as the software developers still have to pay royalties back to M$ on unit sales. More importantly P9, they'll want to install an established user base for when the PS3 finally hits the shelves. It's all about money, and commericalism my friend.
Put yourself in M$ shoes for a moment, and ask, what would you do?!

Trust me, they're licencing from at least NVidia/ATI and Intel... Unless they've made a Grand Canyon'esque leap into chip production on the sly, which I wouldn't put past them, but someone, somewhere would've noticed.
They will make little if any profit, but won't be worried about that. Their simple sole aim is to ground as many of us with these units, and get us buying the software.
