Per MS Press Pass (full article here):

Ending weeks of speculation about which upcoming video game platform will give gamers the most bang for their buck, today at the German Games Convention, Microsoft Corp. revealed that consumers can get their hands on Xbox 360™ — the most powerful and feature-packed next-generation video game and entertainment system — for as little as $299.99 U.S./€299.99/£209.99 starting this holiday season. For gamers who want to experience the ultimate digital entertainment thrill ride, Microsoft also announced a model with hundreds of dollars worth of accessories for $399.99 U.S./€399.99/£279.99, giving consumers the definitive entertainment experience at an unbelievable value right out of the box.

No big mystery as to the price points…the majority of consumers will see the extra hundred bucks for the premium system as negligible (well, this consumer will at least).  No doubt they will still lose money on every console sold…but who cares :-).

Sidenote:  Been a little quiet around here lately…can’t talk about it now, but some big news could be coming if things work out.
