Complete XBox specs and prices
Tags: Microsoft, Games, Gaming, XBox 360, Marketing
Xbox 360 News has a complete sell sheet on the XBox 360, including accessory part numbers, prices, and feature comparisons between the Core system and the premium XBox 360. Some interesting bits: the game prices are listed at $49.95 (there had been speculation XBox 360 games would be $59.95), and that the XBox 360 premium has chrome trim whereas the XBox Core System doesn't.
My reaction from a quick look through: other than the prices and part numbers, there's not much here that wasn't in the coverage from the product announcement. But you do get lots of very nice photos showing what the items look like. And those comparison tables between the XBox 360 Core System and XBox 360 are handy for someone trying to decide what they want.
But as I noted previously, unless you have a pre-order in now, the chance of getting an XBox 360 Core System this holiday system are somewhere between slim and none; supplies will be extremely limited and most retailers will emphasize the higher ticket version -- if either system is available in quantity at all.
