XBox 360 Now Officially $129.99 (Still Comes with 5 Free Discs)

February 7th, 2008

HD DVD is on its last leg, and Toshiba is forced to slash price of their players by 50% to make it as an attractive DVD up-scalers. Microsoft doesn't have much choice but to follow with some deep price cut for its XBox 360 external hi-def player. Now the USB 2.0 HD DVD drive - also compatible with PC - is now $129.99, dropped from $179.99; and it seems like the pricing is effective worldwide. Though, not every country gets the 5 free HD DVD offer. Keep in mind this is only the MSRP, hence retail pricing could be even lower. Consider yourself lucky if someone picked up your 360 drive on eBay before this.
