Microsoft is considering plan to bring the Xbox 360 grant, which is available in the U.S., to Europe. The head of the division in the old continent is watching the development of the offer with "interest" as it would be "very popular" in this territory.
The Redmond giant decided to endorse in May traditionally a strategy used by operators and phone manufacturers to distribute their devices. Decided to subsidize the console in exchange for a commitment to stay in the online service Xbox Live.
Thus, in the United States can purchase the Xbox 360 model with 4Gb Kinect to $ 99, with a commitment to purchase a subscription to the online payment service for two years for $ 14.95 a month.
The strategy must be working well, as Microsoft has expanded the availability of the offer that was initially only available in their stores and then went to Gamestop and BestBuy. Now, it seems that European leaders are those who are interested in this distribution model.
The Head of Xbox Europe, Chris Lewis, said in VG24 / 7 who is watching the U.S. case "with interest", as it believes that in Europe this sales model would be "very popular".
"We want to offer flexibility of choice, making this type of offer is available for those who want to eat this way," said Lewis, but without specifying any concrete plans or release dates.
