Xbox 360 Pricing: It's all about the hard drive
Posted: Sat Aug 20, 2005 2:32 am
[quote name=\'TheClicker\']... No wireless? No hard drive? No Xbox Live. Excuse me – these now-options were billed as being at the heart of the system. Understandably many are frustrated to hear that their wallets will be lightened as a result of this news. So the question becomes: “Why did Microsoft do it?” Oh sure – it’s easy to say that it’s a PR move – get people thinking $299 and ooch them up to the $399 model. It’s a technique that car salesmen have been using since, well, forever. After all, it’s hard to deny the value one gets for his/her additional Franklin, and while it’s probably true that the appearance of the $299 price point played a large part in their decision, it just might be more interesting to look at the long-term benefits of such a move...[/quote]
