(RUMOR) - Xbox 360 More Affordable Than PS3?
The PS3 will hit shop shelves sporting a much higher pricetag than its rival Xbox 360, according to the latest wave of internet speculation. Gaming blog Kotaku is quoting a source who has apparently seen the full US Xbox 360 launch line-up (complete with release dates and pricing). According to the source the 360 will launch in the US on November 2 with games retailing at $59.99 ($10 more than current gen games and around £33 before tax). No mention is made about the price of the system itself but the source does suggest that the Xbox 360 will be cheaper at launch than Sony's PS3, which is expected to launch in spring 2006. What's more, while Microsoft keeps the console price low and the software price high, Sony will allegedly use the higher console price point to drive down software prices.Source: http://www.computerandvideogames.com
