$300 XBox 360 by Thanksgiving

Posted by Zonk on from the goes-well-with-turkey dept.

frikazoyd writes "According to Gamespot, Microsoft corporate vice president J Allard discusses potential pricing and release targets for the XBox 360 in a TheStreet.com interview. From the article: '"It's going to be in the neighborhood [of $300]," he said, apparently dispelling fears of a $399 or even $499 machine, although $350 could still be possible.'"

    I have to post this anonymously or I'd get fired in a heartbeat. I work at Microsoft in the XBOX 360 marketting group. The big news is that Allard and Gates will announce the 360 with a retail price of $269, far less than the hints suggest. It will take the wind from Sony's sails.
