According to recent reports on Verge, Microsoft is preparing a new Xbox 360 bundle that will cost on $99 and release as early as next week.
The bundle will include a 4 GB Xbox 360 Slim console and a Kinect. Owners will have to sign up for a $15 monthyl Xbox Live Gold subscription for two years, giving them access to “possibly some additional streaming content” from cable providers. The deal also covers a two year warranty.
“Microsoft will position the package as a competitor to Apple TV, Roku, and PlayStation 3,” the report said.
“For those buying the bundle now and getting the cheapest two-year Xbox Live Gold option, that’s about $299.00 + $120 = $420 vs. $459 over a duration of two years.”
With 7 years on the market now, it’s kind of expected that Microsoft will be releasing their console at such competitive prices. This might be good news for the ageing system.
Stay tune, we’ll keep you updated.
