Has Microsoft enacted an unofficial 360 price cut for the holidays?

We as a retailer will be having significant gift card promotions throught the holidays on new 360's, but no official price cut appears to be on the horizon.

HOWEVER, MS is absolutley flooding the channels right now with shipments, were seeing over 3x the amount of regular shipment we normally recieve from MS so they are certainly up to something, who knows maybe a price cut IS actually coming.

is this more than last year same time?

Ya more than last year, or I guess about the same but when you factor in last year had the Slim and Kinect still being new it doesn't really make sense the quantity MS is shipping.  I'm not gonna lie 360 sales have been down for a while now in comparison to last year and most stores are already sitting at a pretty nice quantity of systems and MS is shipping a rediculous amount of 360's into stores the past two days.  Maybe they just plan on selling alot during COD or they really think Kinect is gonna push them to huge numbers over the holidays but as of right now it seems to me they are overshipping by quite a bit unless they have something up their sleeve thats gonna move some serious hardware.
