I was down at my local retailers over the weekend and found that there was a huge price variation on the 360 between retailers which was quite surprising to me.

It seams a few retailers (major retailers) have not dropped their price yet, and maybe(just maybe) these could be the reasons.

• The Price drop has not flown through to all chains
• The retailers are waiting until closer to Christmas to drop their price
• The retailers are making more profit while they can
• The retailers may have brought a large inventory before the price drop and haven't received their rebate (YET)
  
• The retailers may have received their rebates in the form of games.
• They may be waiting for a promotion cycle to begin

Either way the effects of the price drop have not made it through all sales channels yet. I would think that Christmas will be the real decider to if this price drop has had much long term effect.

I also believe that in the coming months, MS will supply a lot of bundles to the market, making the Xbox look to have better value.

I'm here in Sydney, Australia.  I was under the impression that we didn't get the latest price drop.  IF we did, then you are correct.  Many retailers havent passed it on.

 

JB and WOW have passed this price drop on the last time I looked
