Xbox, CS:X Price Drop

[CSN NewsBot]

Microsoft has announced in a press release that they are dropping the price of the Xbox Console to $149.99, and Counter-Strike, among other games, will drop in price to $29.99, effective tomorrow. You know it's big news when the marketers get P. Diddy to comment on it. Wonder how much that endorsement cost?

With a fantastic new price, more than 400 games, an active online community of nearly 750,000 Xbox Live™ subscribers, and DVD and CD playback capabilities, Xbox validates its competitive advantage while adding a whole new breed of Xbox players to its ever-increasing community of gamers from broad and diverse backgrounds, including many of the world's most well-known celebrities.



"I love playing Xbox games and believe that the system's cultural influence as a social entertainment brand has only just begun," said P. Diddy, musician and Xbox fan.

Counter-Strike for the Xbox, though, sure is a lot of fun, so maybe this price drop will convince more people to take the plunge.

Too bad Xboxes games still suck or on PC and ps2. Perhaps they should try and buy some good games like by rockstar and whoever makes the Gran Turismo games. PC>PS2>PSX>SNES>NES>Atari>Xbox

Where were you when Halo came out? Tucked safely up your ass I assume.

How much did Microsoft pay for that bit of marketing?



I suppose P Diddy needs a new source of income since his music is complete shit.

[Equalizer!]

Did you bother to find out the price in pounds or euros? Does CS-Nation only apply to people from the U.S then? People from all round visit this site.

If you bothered to click the link and read the first line of the press release you would you would see this: "Microsoft Announces New Robust North American Xbox Price Move."

You kidding? People love shit music like Diddy's, with a passion. If my short life has taught me anything, its that 99% of people have zero taste and sub-monkey intelligence. Keep grinding the organ Diddy-Diddy!

MikeJ, in response to your comment #3, i believe the correct term is "snoop dogg," not "dog." Mr. Dogg is offended when people only include 50% of his G-izzle
