NEW DELHI: Microsoft India has reduced prices of its gaming console Xbox 360 by 19 percent bringing down the starting price to just Rs 12,990, making it all the more affordable for gamers.
The 4GB standalone XBox 360 version was being sold for Rs. 15,990 and it is now available at Rs. 12,990. Microsoft has also reduced the price of 4GB Xbox 360 with Kinect to Rs. 21,990 (previously Rs. 26,990) and 250GB Xbox 360 with Kinect to Rs. 29,990 (previously Rs. 31,990).
However, gamers won’t be getting physical copies of these titles, but download codes for the digital versions. Additionally, the company is throwing in a 1-month Xbox Live Gold membership for free. Fans can also get the Xbox 360 for much cheaper, that’s by opting for the lower storage model of 4GB.
The standalone unit here will cost just Rs 12990 which is down from Rs 15990, while the Kinect bundle will set gamers back by a hefty Rs 21990. The Microsoft console is of course, outdated with its successor, the Xbox One now taking the spotlight.
The system is still quite expensive in India as it’s selling through Amazon for a whopping Rs 39990. There are bundles also available for an additional fee. The Xbox 360 makes a great choice for gamers on a budget as there’s already a wide catalog of titles available with many more scheduled to be released over the year.
The Xbox 360 is already available through Microsoft’s dedicated Amazon India store at the new rates. Gamers will also be able to purchase games and the new system here.
