Next Xbox expected launch in November,$499 or $299 with subscription
Paul Thurrott, who nailed the launch date of the console, is back with more information and seeing as he got it right the first time around, we have reason to believe his new information is as credible as the first wave of content. According to Paul, the next Xbox will launch in early November and will have a price of $499 or $299 with a monthly $10 subscription.
In addition to the above information, the console will have a Blu-ray drive and as previously expected will be based on the core of Windows 8.
The critical information above, if accurate, is the release and price as Microsoft typically holds this information close to the vest before letting the public know these two crucial pieces of information.
We fully expect Microsoft's next console to be a true media hub in the living room with a significant focus on content, as well as gaming. Seeing that Microsoft is building out its Windows 8 ecosystems with phones, tablets, and PCs, the Xbox is the missing link for the ecosystem.

I hope Sony undercuts the living hell out of the 720. Oh man that would make my day.
NVidia described PS4's CPU to a "low end CPU" thats "comparable to a CPU we launched in March 2012"
Already, the consoles are becoming outdated... and they aren't even out yet.

CoRay1992 500 for the console upfront or 300 plus 240 for live... the 2 yr deal is so much better for 2yrs of xbox live you can pay 540 for the "cheap one" or depending if live is 10 a month 740 for the 500 box, obviously not including games or if the console could possible come with 1 free year or whatever
You're missing the point, I imagine that we get 2-3yrs free xbl if we get the 500$ package so not including games the 500$ package is 500$
Whereas the 300$ package + 2-3yrs could be 540-660$ not including games etc

The $299 console is basically like financing it with interest so that you don't have to pay the $500 up front if you think about it.

I honestly expected the base price to be 500$ so this is good for me! I am probably going to get the 500$ version. Just depends on what it has though.
