The 99 Dollar Xbox 360 Is a Good Deal – Until You Look A Little Closer
Today Microsoft announced a new low price for the Xbox 360. The
system will be priced as special bundle at 99 dollars. The bundle will
include an Xbox 360 and a Kinect. The idea behind this is to get more
casual audiences involved in the Xbox 360 and the Kinect by introducing a
low priced system that is much more attainable.
There is a catch however. When you buy this bundle, you are locked into a 2 year agreement for Xbox Live at 14.99 a month. This comes to a total of 459 dollars over the 2 years. A straight purchase of a 4gb 360 a Kinect and 2 years of Xbox Live will run you 400 dollars.
The good thing about the new pricing is if you don’t have 400 dollars laying around to spend, but can afford 100 dollars and then pay it off over 2 years at 15 dollars a month its almost like financing an Xbox 360. The good news is this may be the best way to get the Xbox 360 into homes it wouldn’t have at its 300 dollars price point.
