Microsoft lowers Xbox price to $149

REDMOND(AP) -- Microsoft Corp. plans to lower the price of Xbox
to $149 beginning in early April, the Wall Street Journal reported
last week. The $30 price cut is part of efforts to compete with rival
Sony's PlayStation 2, the industry leader.

Microsoft also is considering selling a limited-edition Xbox that will
come with Microsoft's popular Halo shooting game for $169, the
Journal said, citing sources familiar with the company's plans.

Microsoft has been fiercely competing with Sony and Nintendo Co.'s
GameCube since 2001, when the software maker made its first
foray into the game console business by launching Xbox.
