Further Xbox price reduction
Posted on April 10, 2003 @ 14:05 in Games
I thought the status quo in the console price (and market share) war would last a little longer, but Microsoft decided to stir things up a little. Tomorrow the European price for the Xbox will be 199 euro, down from 249 euro (Webwereld). Most deals you saw were for 299 euro, including either two or three games, or the Live pack and one or two games. I got my Xbox just after christmas last year for 299 euro, with three games and the DVD remote, still a good deal I think. PS2 was generally about 25 euro cheaper, but all deals included one less game than the Xbox deals. The GameCube could be had for less, obviously, and I saw a deal for 199 euro for a special edition black GameCube with Metroid Prime. So now MS drops the Xbox price, possibly too in preparation for the rumored slimmer Xbox with a translucent green case (with some extra features perhaps? An Xbox 1.5 on the road to the next iteration?). So it's going to be interesting to see what the Sony and Nintendo will do.
