Permanent or temporary price cut?

The 360 is without a doubt a great console, but $249 for a 7 year old console is just insane imo.

Still too much money =_=

i agree for a 7 year old console 250 is outrageous.

Good that the holiday cuts are arriving "early". :)

Hard to really tell what is going on yet. In the end if it were a real price cut the Xbox 360 4GB would have also been included.

i saw that price for the 4gb with kinect last week on amazon  so it was already $50 down there.

just checked walmart.com they are doing the same thing its probably most major retailers.

seems a bit pointless if its just in the USA. the 360 already sells really well at its current price and lowering would just cut the profit margin and probably not have a huge effect on sales. it would be far better to cut the price in europe or somewhere else where the 360 is weak.

need the 4gb to drop to 149.99, and pick up a 320 hd with it. its amazing how vital hds became for the 360 at end of generation, 20 gig that shipped with my launch box long ago replaced by a 120... i would consider getting one of the old 250 gb hds for my console, but i kinda want hdmi, and the try sometimes does not come out unless i whack it. ..

i remember when MS claimed an hd would never be required to play any 360 game, seems thats gone by the wayside at least when it comes to live .... i still feel the biggest step backwards the 360 made was just not building in a larger standard HD into all 360s, they were cheaper faster and held more data.. but i guess you need to make money on accessories
