Microsoft Sets Xbox 360 Pricing
Widely rumored now finally confirmed. Microsoft is going to release two SKUs of the Xbox 360. The first one will cost $399.99 and come with 20GB hard-drive, wireless controller, headset, and remote control. The second one will cost $299.99 and come with a wired controller, but no hard-drive. Also the lower SKU will not be HD ready out of the box.Pricing for accessories is $50 for wireless controller, $100 for 20GB hard-drive (rip-off), $20 for head-set, and $20 for custom face plates. Basically Microsoft is saying you probably should pay $400 for their next gen console, unless you like getting ripped off later.
