Xbox 360 Price Cuts official in US

News | September 3, 2008 5:46 pm
After slashing the price of the Xbox 360 lineup in Japan last week, it looks like the folks here in the states needing a replacement console will get it a bit cheaper. Major Nelson has posted on his blog that the Xbox 360 will drop in price for the Arcade, Pro and Elite models effective September 5th. The new pricing is as follows:

Arcade - $199
Pro - $299
Elite - $399

So that makes the Arcade the lowest priced console on the market, despite being a gimped PoS. Looks like Microsoft is ramping up early for the Holiday and Gears season with these cuts. Will be interesting to see if Sony bites the bullet and follows suit, or if Nintendo and their gimmicky Wii feel the need to get below the $200 barrier as well.

Arcade at $200 is quite a nice deal; especially if you already have a hard drive and controllers/games but just want to have a backup xbox.

As it stands they already lose $ on every console sold, so I'm sure they don't mind losing a little extra to attract new customers. The main revenue is from games/hardware anyway.

Actually, Microsoft has been turning a profit on their consoles since early 2007. At worst, this will bring them to the "break even" point...
