if like both console is using xbox1 game such as halo2 or forza, then you can play online together. but if one using xbox1 game and the other using xbox360 game (bf2:mc / graw), then you cannot play online together.

If you want to talk about official price drop of Xbox 1, it launches on 15th November 2001 for USD 299.

Then on May 15th 2002 (about 6 months after launch) the price drops to USD 199.

Then on May 14th 2003, the price drops again to USD 179. And finally on March 29th 2004 till now, the price is USD 149.
In the case of Xbox vs. PS2, both console launches with the same price tag, USD 299, so price cut is necessary to compete with the rival console. Why should Microsoft drop their price now when their console is USD 200 cheaper than the rival PS3?

Maybe price drop is possible in 2007 when they started to manufacture Xbox 360 using new 65nm CPU which supposed to lower Xbox 360's manufacturing cost.

If you want RM 1000-ish Xbox 360 now you can get it. You can buy either Xbox 360 Asia Core or Xbox 360 Japanese, although I myself prefer Asian Premium set.

true..true...but the different is not USD200 but USD100 (low-end PS3). notworthy.gif

If you want to compare low-end PS3, compare it with Xbox 360 core ler. Xbox 360 core also can play game what. sweat.gif

So the price difference is supposed to be:

Between Xbox 360 Premium and PS3 premium:
USD 599 - USD 399 = USD 200
Between Xbox 360 Core and PS3 Core:
USD 499 - USD 339 (since need to buy USD 40 Memory Unit to save game) = USD 160

I think we're going OOT here.  doh.gif
I don't think price comparison is Xbox 360 FAQ .... or is it?  unsure.gif
*
hehehe no bukan nak complaint or OOT but actually low-end ps3 same batch with xbox360 premium... notworthy.gif

and the reason i said all this things coz..its one of the reason why micro$oft have to cut down their price...

to be more precise...the different between low-end PS3 and high-end PS3 is HDMI, WIFI and SD/Memory Stick..so basically ppl will buy PS3 (low-end) due to its only USD100 different and plus its have Blu-ray but 360 dont have HD-DVD (have to add-on in the future) kena sumbat another USD50 i think..and have to remember that add-on HD-DVD 360 currently is only for movies... notworthy.gif

and becoz of that..i think micro$oft will or have to cut down their price..especially in japan their sale kinda slow..

USD299 is only RM1140, how can it be RM1800-2000? thats shop putting high price to make extra buck from naive customer. shakehead.gif  so in reality it's RM1140 become RM800 after one year. not really much difference.
low end ps3 still more expensive by USD100 from xb360 premium. i still don't see any benefits MS would have if they lower the price. bundling with games or accessory will be the best bet.
*
The benefits that M$ will get is..they can sell more units..coz currently PS2 still selling more than 360 (in US)...

US Hardware in June
NDS: 593,000 units
PS2: 312,000 units
Xbox360: 277,000 units
source:http://www.joystiq.com/2006/07/14/report-us-game-sales-jump-25-in-june/

Bundle with games and accessory..is a great idea but i think they already done that with xbox...i still remember...they did bundle with 2 games/2 controllers..and then HALO Special Edition for US market..or Kasumi's Special Edition for japan market and so on...but somehow it wont works..and now xbox is zero (japan)... vmad.gif

Japanese Hardware (July 17-23)
DSL 262,453
PSP 35,938
PS2 22,288
DS 6,344
GBASP 2,953
Xbox360 1,472
GBM 1,410
GC 1,076
GBA 20
Xbox 0 shakehead.gif

Why is Xbox 360 hddvd add on a must? If there is a hdd on it, then its a must for me la... tongue.gif  20gb hdd is not enough~!

There is a microsoft staff blog talking about future xb360 with built-in HDMI port. (xbox-scene has a blur pic of xb360 board with HDMI port)
Whether it's happening or not...we will have to wait & see.

Anyhow...all 3 console will cater to different group one lar. Nothing to worry about, let microsoft worry about the price. It's all about the content.

Wait until the modded 360 came out. (Anyone? Globe360?)
How do I know? Yesterday I went to S.Wang and the gameshop fella told me there will be modded 360 coming next week. The 360+mod price? Not confirm yet. The game price? Well you just went there and ask. I don't want to be accused by promoting pirated stuff, but hey, they do exist.

Whoa so 'cepat'....so next week "pirates of kuala lumpur" is coming heheheh icon_rolleyes.gif

Well it's up to you. Sacrifice NBA 2K or pay out $499 USD for a PS3 and about $60+ USD for a Blu-Ray game disc which you may not be able to sell off or trade due to console-game locking
