The new Microsoft Xbox 360 which will be released in North America in time for the end of year holiday season will be priced at $US299.95 for the core model. For this you get the console, one games controller, a white faceplate and an audio visual cable. The premium model with cost $US399.95 and will also have a headset, remote, a 20GB hard disk and membership to the Xbox Live entertainment and chat network. The controller will also be wireless rather than wired to the main unit.
Both the premium and basic units come with built-in Ethernet ports and can play DVDs, CDs, MP3s and digital content from other devices including cameras.
I'm wondering how long until the NZ release, and also how long after the North American release it will be before you can mod them!
