Xbox 360 Arcade hits rock bottom price in Asia

Philip Wong | Sep 25, 2008

If you're still sitting on the fence, do yourself a favor and purchase an Xbox 360 Arcade today. With the latest S$60 (US$43.29) price revision, the HD-enabled console has become ridiculously affordable. This is putting aside its value-added functions which range from being a Media Center Extender for streaming multimedia content from your PC to onboard CD and DVD playback. For S$339 (US$244.57), the package includes a wireless controller, five Xbox Live Arcade games and a 256MB memory unit.

While it's still status quo at S$499 (US$360) for the 60GB Xbox 360 Pro, its flagship 120GB Elite kit has received a symbolic S$20 (US$14.43) price cut to S$679 (US$489.86). These new pricings will be effective from October 1 in Hong Kong, Korea, Singapore and Taiwan. This development is a subset of the recent US revision which saw prices tumbling to US$199.99, US$299.99 and S$399.99 for the Arcade, Pro and Elite, respectively.
