Microsoft has announced new reduced pricing across the range of Xbox 360 bundles.  As we head into the holiday season, Halo 4 on the horizon and competition from Nintendo with a new console, and Sony with new pricing this is a natural move.


The game console market is hotting up again.  As this generation of machines heads towards retirement, for bargain hunters the good times role.

No doubt feeling the heat from the soon to be release AU$350 Wii U from Nintendo, as well as the revamped and priced (sort of!) PlayStation 3, Microsoft Australia has come out today to announce new savings on Xbox 360 hardware.  Here are the details:

Microsoft Australia today announced that it will lower its recommended retail price of its Xbox 360 standalone consoles and Kinect bundles. From October 4th, the recommended retail price (RRP) of the Xbox range of products will be lowered by between $50 and $150, marking the company’s largest price drop on record in Australia.
 
New pricing of its range will be:

*         Kinect Sensor, $149 (save $50)
*         4GB Xbox 360, $199 (save $50)
*         4GB Xbox 360 with Kinect, $299 (save $100)
*         250GB Xbox 360 $299 (Save $150)
*         Limited edition consoles $399 (save $50)
