Xbox 360 Exclusive Interview



There’s so much we know you’re dying to find out about the new Xbox 360. So we put all those burning issues to Chris Lewis, the Regional Vice President of Xbox across Europe, Middle East and Africa. Here’s what he had to say:

Xbox.com: How much will the new console cost? If you can’t give an exact figure, then can you give a rough idea?

Chris Lewis: I’m very pleased to be able to confirm today that consumers in Europe will be able to get their hands on Xbox 360 for just €299.99 for the Core console. In North America, the experience starts at $299.99, and £209.99 in the UK. The full Xbox 360 system represents the best value at €399.99, or $399.99 in North America and £279.99 in the UK.

Havn't seen that interview yet. Nice price for th xbox, was expecting higher.

It's strange how alot of people have been complaining about how there is a 299.99 one. I mean what people need to understand is that the 299.99 one is for the non-hardcore players. The ones that just pick up a fighting game, play it for an hour or two, and that's it... without the need to save.

yea, but that might screw the ones that buy the hard drive...if not enough people buy the one with the hard drive, developers might not utilize it as much as they should...i just hope the "85% of all xbox360s shipped will be with the hard drive, and 15% will be without it" is true...that may force people to buy the one with the hard drive and thus developers would want to utilize it more

I really don't know how much difference a hard drive will make? For content download is fine but then their are some games that advertise content download and have yet to see anything.

When will the new Xbox be released? I have only scanned over the posts so if it's already mentioned please accept my appoligies.

the hard drive can be used to make games cache to the hdd and will speed up loading times...this is used for lots of xbox games...but developers might not want to use it if not a lot of people even have a hard drive...

But doesn't the 360 have a faster drive and 512 ram. I think that should offset having a hard drive?

I heard that the XBOX360 has alot new games like NBA LIVE 2006 on it. But 1 thing bother me, DBZ isn't on it, but Game revolution you can play any nintendo games including DBZ games!
