Xbox 360 gets a price drop
Microsoft has dropped the price of its Xbox 360 console in North America. The basic Xbox 360 Arcade will now retail for $199 U.S., while the Premium and Elite consoles will sell for $299 and $399, respectively.
The company also dropped the console’s price in Japan recently. A drop in the UK is expected soon as well.
Microsoft hopes that the new price will bring the console within reach of a larger market and raise the profile of the Xbox 360 even higher, as well as improve sales over the upcoming holiday season.
