Xbox 360 for $300

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the thats-a-steep-one dept.

Xizer writes "Wal-Mart employees have leaked the price of Microsoft's next-generation console. The Xbox 360 is set to be launched for $299.99. Additionally, games are set to be $59.99 each. Ouch.

One thing is for sure: It's time to start gearing up for an expensive Christmas."

    This is a Microsoft product, no one on Slashdot is going to actually pay money for it

    That's because most slashdotters' parents are going to buy it for them ;)
