Xbox 360

[Lee-yoshi]

This week there's a big games conference in Germany, and Microsoft wanted to steal some of everyone else's thunder by making an big announcement concerning their next generation console, the Xbox 360. The details they revealed? The price! A date however has still not be narrowed down from 'Christmas Time-ish'.

The machine will be available this christmas in two forms. You can either go out and buy yourselves a 'basic' Xbox 360, or a, well, much better Xbox 360! See what i mean below:

• 'Basic' Xbox 360 Package
  
• Xbox 360 Console (With Chill/White Console Faceplates)
  
• Xbox 360 Controller
  
• Price Point: £209.99 (299.99 Euro's)

• 2nd Xbox 360 Package
  
• Xbox 360 Console (With Metallic & Chill/White Console Faceplates)
  
• Xbox 360 Wireless Controller
  
• 20Gb HDD
  
• Xbox Live Headset
  
• Xbox Live Silver Membership
  
• HDTV Cable
  
• Ethernet Cable
  
• Playback Remote Control
  
• Price Point: £279.99 (399.99 Euro's)

As far as we know, the 'Basic' Xbox 360 package comes with no hdd - So i'm guessing that to save games, you'll need to go out and buy yourselves some memory cards. As you can see though, for an extra £70, you get a lot more for your money. The packages will also be the same in other parts of the world including Australia and America when the console gets it's simultaneous worldwide release.
