**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.
