Microsoft confirmed that there will be a $99 xbox. It’s the 4GB model and they will be selling them at 16 of the 21 Microsoft retail stores. What’s the catch. Actually, there are several. First, you will have to agree to a two year $15 per month contract, bringing the price of a normally $299 4GB Xbox 360 up to $459. If you were to purchase all of the gear up front and take Microsoft’s discounted Xbox Live account plan, you would save $110. So, no, the $99 Xbox is not a good deal. Can I think of any reason to put $99 down and commit to two years of $15 dollar per month payments for a 4GB Xbox 360? No. And neither won’t be able to think of a reason either. Oh, and by the way, almost everyone expects Microsoft to announce a new Xbox in 2013 which you would not be eligible to get. Did I mention that this is a bad idea?
