There's nothing like a report out of DigiTimes to stir up a little X360 HD-DVD controversy.
The paper states very boldly that the 360's external HD-DVD drive will retail for $200.
"Microsoft will launch external HD-DVD drives for its Xbox 360 at a retail price of US$200 by Christmas of this year, and Taiwanese games developers and gaming services providers indicated this this is a smart marketing strategy as compared with Sony's adoption of built-in BD drives for its PlayStation 3 (PS3). "
Well, there you have it – I don't know how much I believe the DigiTimes, but $200 doesn't seem that off most estimates I've heard.
So, I want some reader feedback – what do you guys think of the $200 price point?
