Microsoft is taking a page from iPhone and mobile phone sales, and is offering a 4GB Xbox 360 and Kinect bundle for $99, provided the user signs a two year Xbox Live Gold subscription of $15/mo.
According to The Verge, ”Microsoft will position the package as a competitor to Apple TV, Roku, and PlayStation 3. For those buying the bundle now and getting the cheapest two-year Xbox Live Gold option, that’s about $299.00 + $120 = $420 vs. $459 over a duration of two years.”
It’ll be interesting to see if this will spur sales of an aging console in a generation that has lived two years longer than most console generations have in the past.
