Subsidized gaming consoles are unheard of but Microsoft has done the inevitable by offering its Xbox 360 at a very attractive price of $99. Of course, this takeaway price for the hardware is tied to the commitment for the software, which is a contract of Xbox Live Gold account for two years at $15 per month.
Needless to say, the Xbox 360 with a contract will be expensive than buying Xbox 360 with Kinect on a contract.
To put it in perspective, Xbox 360 with Kinect on contract will cost $459 ($15/month X 24 months + $99) compared to buying off contract which comes to around $419 ($5/month X 24 months + $299).
