Microsoft Responds to Xbox 360 Price Cut Rumors

At the recent X06 event in Spain, Microsoft’s Peter Moore responded to the question of pending price drops with a succinct “Certainly not.” Microsoft’s explanation is that it still believes that the XBOX 360 offers great value to the consumer, which likely means that it is perfectly happy to sit right between Wii and PlayStation 3.

Some have speculated that, instead of a price drop, Microsoft will include the HD-DVD add-on in the XBOX 360 Premium bundle to match up with PlayStation 3’s Blu-ray ability. Seeing as how Microsoft says no to a $100 price drop, it seems unlikely that a $200 accessory be included for free. But if it were so, wouldn’t that really throw a wrench into Sony’s plans?
