Microsoft is reported to have been dropping hints it will price the Xbox 360 and the console’s upcoming HD DVD drive to ensure the two packages together come in at less than Sony will charge for the PlayStation 3.

According to GamesIndustry.biz, UK retail moles claim Microsoft has suggested it wants its offering to be the cheaper of the two next-generation media players next Christmas. The report follows suggestions Sony may only ship the high-end PS3 package in the UK.
