Microsoft cut Xbox 360 US price
Arcade model falls below 200 USD
With Japan receiving a 30% price cut a week ago, Microsoft have now announced another reduction for the Xbox 360 in North America.
The Arcade pack will now retail for 199 USD, the Premium pack for 299 USD, and the Elite pack for 399 USD.
"We are thrilled to be the first next-generation console on the market to reach $199, a price that invites everyone to enjoy Xbox 360," grinned local Xbox boss Don Mattrick.
"Xbox 360 delivers amazing performance at an extraordinary value with the leading online service and best line-up of games, downloadable movies and TV shows available from a console.
"The majority of consumers make the decision to buy consoles once the price falls to this mark, making this an important milestone for consumers and the industry."
A European price cut is now hoped for, nay expected, in some quarters.
