$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.'"

    Here's your pre-modded PowerPC based set-top entertainment system for just 519 USD. It's even the right size such that a GameCube stacks on top of it.

      except that it's not nearly as powerful and more expensive. other than that, yeah it's not bad. though it has a big positive: no DRM. in other words, you actually own it.

    You know, I'd be perfectly fine with Xbox 360 modchips that were designed to render the thing unable to work online.

    Modded Xbox consoles already aren't compatible with Live.
