Geek Music: Zune Price Cut Announced

Wednesday, September 5th, 2007

Cesar Menendez, the Zune Insider, has announced the price of a Zune is being cut to $199 starting tomorrow. He also says that customer satisfaction for the 30GB Zune device is at 94%. I have to admit I’m in that 94% - the Zune rocks. The software - not so much.

I wouldn’t read into this price drop too much. Cesar says “It?s part of the normal product lifecycle, something we?ve had on the books for months”.

Xbox 360 is going to be $50 cheaper

Tuesday, August 7th, 2007

Microsoft this evening has announced that the Xbox 360 will be $50 cheaper beginning August 8th. Here is the low-down of the prices for each SKU of the Xbox 360:

  • Xbox 360 Premium (with 20GB harddrive etc) = $349.99
  • Xbox 360 Core = $279.99
  • Xbox 360 Elite (Black colored console with 120GB) = $449.99

And in September to celebrate the release of Halo 3, Microsoft will release the Xbox 360 Halo 3 Special Edition Console for $399.99. The Halo 3 Special Edition console comes with a authentic Spartan green-and-gold finish with matching Wireless Controller, 20GB harddrive, Headset, and Play and Charge Kit.

Despite owning a Xbox 360 already - the $50 price drop does entice me to seriously look at possibly getting a Xbox 360 Elite or the Halo 3 Special Edition consoles. Or maybe I’ll just go buy the 120GB harddrive instead. I am not sure yet.
