Default Xbox for $99? Xbox 2 in 2005?

TimeForGuinness writes "CNN is reporting that Microsoft's Xbox may be on the verge of a substantial price cut, falling from $179 to $99 by Labor Day, and Microsoft will launch its next generation console in late 2005 - a year earlier than has been previously rumored. That would put the Xbox 2 on store shelves up to a full year before Sony's PlayStation 3."

How about this for Xbox news;

"Just weeks after Microsoft announced two special-edition Xboxes for the Japanese market, details have emerged about a new limited-issue Xbox for Europe. The "Crystal Pack" will feature a clear, translucent console and two controllers with the same frosty, Fortress-of-Solitude-style finish.

According to reports, the Crystal Pack will go on sale on March 14th, the second anniversary of the Xbox's launch in Europe. While the console's packaging states it will be a limited edition, Microsoft has released no details about a price point or how many units will be put on the market."
