We received a sneak peek of the Xbox 360 courtesy of the high quality E3 coverage in various publications across the web, but we didn’t get any pricing details. I speculated it could come in around $350, but it seems by comments made recently by those truly in the know that I’m about $50 too high … unless 50 bones is still in the neighborhood, that is. Gamesindustrybiz:

Microsoft corporate vice president J Allard has confirmed that the Xbox 360 will be priced “in the neighbourhood” of $300, which was the initial launch price of the Xbox, with a final decision on price to be made in about two months.

They are also planning a simultaneous Wordwide launch 0f the Xbox 360, which logistically is not as easy as it sounds.

I also said I’d be surprised if it was priced under $299. Doesn’t look like I’ll be surprised, at least on this front, in November/December 2005. Any guesses what the price will be?

Did this post make you go hmm?
