Australians See Xbox 360 Price Drop
6 Comments
A week after the United States and Canada saw the Xbox 360's price tag slashed to better compete with the PS3 and Nintendo Wii, Australian gamers can buy Microsoft's console for the same price as a Wii. Starting today, the Xbox 360 Core will run A$399.95, down from A$429.95. The Pro model has been lowered from A$649.95 to A$579.95.
By comparison, in Australia the PS3 runs A$1000. Xbox 360 Pro units sold down under will also soon sport the HDMI connection that United States buyers are starting to see. Microsoft plans to bring the new Elite and Halo 3 Special Edition models to Australia as well, but the company did not specify a timeframe for availability.
