انتشرت اشاعة في موقع digitimes ان مايكروسوفت تخطط لخفض سعر X360 دفعة pro pack من سعر US$399 إلى US$299 , والهدف من ذلك محاولة منافسة سوني باصدارها للـ PS3 , لكن Microsoft Taiwan ترفض ذلك وتأكد انه مجرد تمويه ..
Microsoft, to prepare for the price cut, has negotiated reduced production costs for the Xbox 360 with Taiwan-based manufacturing partners, stated the sources. The manufacturers estimate that the total production cost can be reduced by 15-20% due to diminishing costs for most components along with increasing production scales and decreasing defect rates, the sources pointed out.
Considering Sony will sell a 20GB HDD (hard disk drive) and 60GB HDD PS3, each with a built-in blue-laser Blu-ray Disc drive, for US$499 and US$599, respectively, Microsoft plans to maximize the price competitiveness of its Xbox 360 Pro System by dropping prices so that the model can be equipped with an external HD-DVD drive in the future for under US$399, the sources indicated.
