Microsoft slashes prices in Japan and Australia

Posted on Monday, 1 September 2008 by Speed, source: Forbes
Microsoft hasn't been all too succesful in Japan with their Xbox360 but a new price drop should change that. At least, that's what they hope.

Up until the release of Tales of Vesperia, Microsoft had quite a difficult time getting their console sold in Japan, but when the game came out the console immediately got completely sold out in the country. When it becomes available again, it will be with a reduced pricetag.

Microsoft will lower the price of the Xbox 360's Arcade model by 8,000 yen ($73.50) to 19,800 yen, making the device the first among competing consoles to carry a price tag less than 20,000 yen, the business daily said.

The Arcade model, which sells for 27,800 yen, is not equipped with a hard-disk drive and is the least expensive of the Xbox 360's three models.

The company will reduce the prices of the two other models as well by 5,000 yen to 8,000 yen, the report said.
Meanwhile, in Australia, Microsoft is also cutting prices but rather on the peripherals than on the actual consoles.

ITWire reports about the following changes:

- Xbox 360 Headset from $A49.95 to $A29.95
- Universal Media Remote from $A49.95 to $A29.95
- 120G hard drive from $A229.95 to $A199.95
- Wireless Networking Adaptor now $A149.95
- Wireless Racing Wheel from $A199.95 to $A149.95
