there are talks that comes Christmas, gamers can get XBox 360 and Wii for the price of a PS3. What are the chances of that happening? As we all know, XBox 360 has been in the market for > half year and sold 6mil units. They will ship another 10mil before christmas. Will Microsoft slash the price of XBox 360 to increase XBox second holiday sale. can we assume too, the second holiday batch of XBox 360 would be of the products second (improved) generation of XBox 360?

QUOTE(ikanayam @ May 18 2006, 10:28 AM) i dont know .. i assume Mic would improve the console after putting it on the market for nearly a year (by then) by getting consumer feedback, fixing bugs ... but i dout the second holiday batch would be be the console's second batch .. maybe next year .. i have a feeling that the price would go down. as they are coming out with the HD DVD player add on which would make the premium console to be at the same priced as the lower end PS3 |

QUOTE(PrivateJohn @ May 18 2006, 11:15 AM) Right after xb360 launch last year....microsoft has been saying there will be annual price cut. So it's safe to say this year we will see microsoft drop the price of xb360...but not so soon 'coz it will make the early xb360 adopter feel screwed. Xbox 360 with HD-DVD to be priced below PS3Anyway, it's for movie playback only. priced "below" PS3 is not enough .. shud be "far below"  QUOTE soon, gonna wait for the pir*te enabled version first... Ahaks... We gonna see then ler... dont get ur hope so high .. because i am certain 85% durian plantation owners will go for HD DVD n not BD .. why .. in order to make BD disk, one has to pay KICK ASS cost to modify the production line. Its cheaper to produce HD DVD disks. that is why i said, in Asia .. durian plantation owners will determine the next dvd format |

ROFLMAO ... QUOTE the chance of xb360 getting a price cut are very slim, considering the highest price xb360 is USD399 while the cheapest ps3 is USD499. why increase the losses per-machine when there are no competition in price? QUOTE thats still only $100!
add $100 to the price and get a blu ray player-so im sure ms will drop the 360's price. the $100 difference is for an Xbox that doesnt play HD DVD AT ALL while PS3 $499 can play BD albeit for downgraded BD movie viewing. This post has been edited by g5sim: May 19 2006, 11:59 AM |
