News4Gamers.com: Xbox 360 News : Xbox 360 Price Drop This Xmas

It looks like Microsoft is planning to crash Sony's PS3 launch party by dropping the price of the Xbox 360 this coming Christmas. A source close to Microsoft says consumers can expect a price drop of almost $100.

The source also revealed according to Britxbox.co.uk that the Xbox 360 hardware team are now busy redesigning the chips supplied by ATI and IBM to cut costs and allow a price drop to coincide with the release of Sony's Playstation 3.

If this holds true you will be able to buy an Xbox 360 for half the price of the PS3 this Xmas. This will certainly put Microsoft in a very lucrative position when the next-gen console war starts for real later this year.

If its confirmed, Sony better prepare something new up their sleeves to limit the people for going for X360+Wii and still save 200$ instead of going for a single Ps3!!

lol.

The sad part in the end will be that when the X360 launches in India its still going to be expensive. PS3 will decide the fate though. 75% of the gaming community has waited for the PS3 so that they can decide which console is better. I still hope X360 is 16k later this year so that i can afford one.....

And i hope PS3 is 25k.........so that i can dream of owning one.....

akS !
