The $99 arcade would be pretty amazing especially considering the last price drop seems to still be giving the 360 considerable success.

I am still in favour of the other rumour that suggested a 360 Arcade with close to pro spec for the same price as the current arcade and a pro price model with a bigger hard drive again and maybe bundled with something.

To be honest if Microsoft counter any PS3 move it will simply stall any gain that Sony had hoped to make making the investment in these bad times all the more difficult to bear. I do wonder how much of this is brinkmanship from Microsoft trying to scare Sony into doing nothing.

More crazy rumors???

Well... if the arcade goes for 99 fuck it, I'll get one. Does that come with a HDD???

$99, no way.

At best your looking at a $50 discount off all skus for both companies.

I would peg April as too early for such a discount though. idk, guess we'll see in a few weeks.

No because it's the cheapest SKU >.>

You can find HDDs for ~$30 on ebay

$99 Elite, then. Do it!

I doubt MS will drop to $99 on the arcade maybe $150.

I wouldn't. I hate M$ and I'm not interested in the games on the 360. That said, there are few games I'm interested in even on other platforms.

I tried to sell a new arcade in box for 150 and it didn't sell. I bought a used 20 gig hard drive for 30 bucks off the same site I was selling my 360 and increased my price to 220. Sold that day.
People seem to think the arcade is toxic. Why I don't know.

A $99 360 Arcade would be full of awesomeness to us, and full of face palm for M$. I don't see it happening so soon. I could see it dropping to $129 this fall around the holidays. So they wouldn't lose their ass.

Pretty much the same for the PS3.

I don't see either of these things happening anytime soon. Whats with all of these rumors lately? I am getting rather bored with them to be honest.

The idea of the 360 Arcade going down any lower than it already is is crazy talk. If it was any cheaper it would be a bargain bin, Fire Sale item.
