$399 to play your old XBox games on a single console

Backwards-compatible Xbox 360 to cost $399.: ”

Dream of playing current-generation Xbox games on your new Xbox 360? That feature, known as
backwards-compatibility, is going to cost you because you’ll need to purchase the Xbox 360 package that comes with a
20 GB hard drive (or you’ll need to acquire the drive separately for $99.99). The premium Xbox 360 package is
expected to cost $399.99.

According to an anonymous tipster, an official Microsoft document includes the following text:

’Key Benefits/ Why to buy: Includes a Hard Drive to save games, download new content and play top selling Xbox
games’
