In case of the Xbox 360 Pro, what it means is that those undecided on its purchase due to the high price tag of Rs 23,990 (excluding taxes), can take it home on a down payment of Rs 899, paid through an ICICI credit card, and pay an EMI of Rs 3,270 for six months.


Either this girl is terrible at maths OR we've been duped by MS India for buying the product at launch!

PS: 899 + (3270 x 6) = 20,519

or maybe the guys at icici have some kind of partnership with microsoft so people thinking that this option will be cheaper will use/buy icici card.

so anyone with an ICICI credit card can buy the fracking 360 for cheap (20k vs 27k) and resell it for a nifty profit!

ps: i think it is a printing mistake OR MS is gonna announce some prices cuts soon

Microsoft hopes this scheme will help its sales increase by 30-40% and woo Gen Y into console gaming.

@ Rs 23,990 they're obviously talking about the core.....and btw....when u use ur credit card, they charge u the entire amount of the console at time of billing....so unless u have a credit limit of 27,750....forget about this option for ur premium console....also i think they have a Rs 500 charge from ICICI

but of course...each statement will only show the EMI amount and u won't be charge the entire amount in ur CC statement



peace

Dealers here in HK have been speaking of price cuts early next year. Sales have been DEAD after the PS3 launch.

Has anyone used this EMI facility?

Vijay Sales has a type with Citibank if u use a citibank credit card ur cost is broken into 6 months EMI (0% interest), its a good deal although i think they may have a 500 buck processing fee now)

its available for the box..
