THE VOLE has moved to end speculation about the price of its Xbox 360 systems by publishing the prices of its premium and standard systems.
It said the Xbox 360 will arrive by Christmas, several months ahead of the competition - Sony.
Microsoft is offering the Xbox 360 in two versions, premium and bog standard.
The Xbox 360 premium will cost $400 in the US, €400 in the EU, and £280 in the UK.
This needs a little comment. $400 is £221, not £280. €400 is £272. The boxes are all built in China. Shorely shome mishtake? Or is the UK paying a premium on a premium?
The premium version console's list of features is pretty well known - it will have a wireless controller, a customisable faceplate, an HD-AV cable, a 20GB detachable hard drive, and at launch a media remote control for a little while.
The standard version will cost $300, €300 and £210, with a standard AV cable as well a wired controller and a swappable faceplate. $300 is about £166. So even the standard version looks like it's being sold ata premium price in the UK.
Both will use three core processors which include support for 720p/1080i graphics, 16x9 cinematic aspect ratio, anti-aliasing, surround sound and DVD.
Microsoft will also offer a huge range of accessories including memory units, hard drives, play and charge kits, rechargeable battery kits, headsets, and the media remote. Microsoft will announce prices of the Xbox 360 in Japan when it gets round to it. µ

La consola vendrá en dos versiones: Standard y Premium
La Standard costará $300 en USA, €300 para europa continental y £210 para el reino unido. Vendrá con un cable AV un control inalámbrico, y una máscara intercambiable.(bastante sencillita)
De otro lado la Premium costará $400, €400(el sablazo de ley xD) y €280(ya ven la polémica que se hacen).
Por el "extra" dispondrán además de lo incluído en el Standard, un cable HD-AV, un disco duro extraíble de 20GB y control remoto para el multimedia. (para mí no es nada del otro mundo que me merezca gastar $100+)
*El control es por tiempo limitado.
Bastante atractivo el precio, pero ya sabes, si quiere al "otro" deberás trabajar...
