Xbox 360 to be about $300, plus other tidbits
In a recent interview with TheStreet.com, Microsoft's J. Allard revealed some new info regarding the Xbox 360, including the potential price range:
-Xbox 360 will be priced "in the neighborhood" of $300, though it will probably be another 2 months before the final price is decided.
-Contrary to Bill Gates's statement that Sony and the PlayStation 3 will walk right into Halo 3 when they launch, Allard said that Halo will be released "when it's ready."
-The chips for the Xbox 360 are in production right now, but the actual consoles aren't being made yet.
-Clarifying his "1 billion" statement from E3; he said that was more like an inspirational comment for the video game industry as a whole. 1 billion gamers is a goal for the industry (not 1 billion Xbox 360 gamers).
The Xbox 360 is currently scheduled to be released sometime in November, in time for the holiday season, in North America, Europe, and Japan.
