Xbox 360 price drops

The Xbox 360 is cheaper in the Microsoft partner dealerships for the Brazilian market. Following a trend set by the PlayStation price reduction during the holiday months, the MS console is also cheaper. The promotional package of the product is sold for $ 1,600 during the month of July.


"While supplies last." This is how the manufacturer defines how long the special holiday promotion goes for the Xbox. The kit Xbox 360 250 GB wasting disk space, HDM cable, a wireless controller and wired headset went through fall in the price: R $ 1,899 per $ 1,599.

When you buy the kit, the consumer still takes the games Alan Wake and Forza III, according to information at the console.

Last week, Sony had also informed that the price of the PlayStation 3 had fallen to $ 1,399 promotional price that will be practiced until August 30. Previously, the PS3 was sold here in Brazil the suggested price of $ 1,600 - another promotional price, reported in May and to serve until the end of July.

The aggressiveness of Sony in making promotional price over promotional price leads to a question: what is the lowest value for which the PS could be marketed in Brazil? The unit came to cost U.S. $ 2,100 in official resellers, and is now around R $ 1,400. That is, $ 700 difference in less than a year.

Anticipating that some readers will say in the comments, it is known that these consoles are usually sold for less than the suggested prices in importing. Just do not know if there is no guarantee for this type of sale in Brazil.
