Microsoft Promises to Launch Xbox 360 Before Diwali

Microsoft Entertainment & Devices Division, India, has announced that the eagerly awaited Xbox 360 gaming systems will make its debut in the Indian market in the pre-Diwali season this year.

The gaming console will come fully loaded with a 20GB detachable Xbox 360 Hard Drive for storing music, video, and games; an Xbox 360 Wireless Controller; an Xbox 360 Media Remote control; a component HD-AV Cable for connecting to component and composite television inputs; an Ethernet cable; and batteries.

"The timing for the launch of Xbox 360 couldn't have been better. The Indian gaming community is currently at an inflection point, and is poised to experience exponential growth in the coming few years, as digital experiences emerge as a defining norm in collaborative entertainment. The Xbox 360 will serve to be a catalyst to fuel this growth, and expose Indian gamers to next generation gaming experiences," said Mohit Anand, country manager, Microsoft Entertainment and Devices Division, India.

The company has already collected Rs 50 lakh during the pre-order offer that it had launched on June 9 to coincide with the FIFA fever.

In India the company plans to introduce Xbox 360 with 25 titles and will add 10 new titles every month taking the games library collection to 100 within year. At the time of the launch there will be only two core offerings: the Xbox 360 Core System plus one leading game title at an ERP of Rs 19,990; and the Xbox 360 System at an ERP of Rs 23,990.
