Following yesterday's news that Microsoft slashed the price points of all of its Xbox 360 consoles in the US, there's more good news for North American consumers in the form of a cut in Canada as well.
The new pricing structure is fairly straightforward, with the Elite now costing CAD 499.99, the Premium weighing in at CAD 399.99 and the Core dropping to CAD 299.99, and it's been timed to coincide with the launch of the latest EA Madden title.
The Halo 3 Xbox 360 will retail in the region for CAD 449.99 and will hit the shelves there in September.
This move will add further weight to the calls from fans for a price drop in Europe, despite Microsoft's continued insistence that no move is planned.
