Microsoft has announced the purchase price of the Xbox 360, selling at $299 and $399 respectively, the main differences are that the higher priced bundle comes with more toys, such as a wireless controller (versus the wired) and a hard drive. Additionaly, Xbox Solution has scrounged up some details on the Xbox 360 Release Dates and games pricing, from a leaked EB Games Corporate SKU list. Per the list it looks like launch will definitely be sometime in November, which makes about the most sense as it would be the anniversary of Xbox Live's third year of service and follows what Microsoft has said, but the actual date has not been released.
Rumors are still flying that PS3 will be released this holiday as well, but according to the developers we have talked to, they haven't even seen a PlayStation 3 debug unit yet, so chances of a 2005 release are slim for Sony's new console. At any rate, more info about the differences in the Xbox 360 systems can be found here and here. As an added bonus, we even have our first Xbox 360 cheat code already, but we'll wait to post that until you can actually get your hands on the next gen console and games.
