According to reports, Microsoft is set to launch a new Xbox bundle next week, that will include a 4GB Xbox 360 console and a Kinect sensor for only $99.
The catch: bundle buyers will have to sign a two-year contract for $15 a month.
That contract will provide access to the Xbox Live Gold service and “potentially some additional streaming content, as well as a two-year warranty,” details Engadget.
“There will be an early termination fee for those wishing to break the contract ahead of its two-year duration, and we understand that Microsoft will position the package as a competitor to Apple TV, Roku, and PlayStation 3,” reports The Verge in a related post. “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.”
With E3 about a month away, and Microsoft developing its own music service, the company wants to get as many consoles into homes as possible.
