gebx said: I doubt the 360 is going to get a price cut anytime soon, The new supposed system "elite" will have a retail price of $479 compared to $399 for the premium. If MS was going to cut the price then they would make the Elite $399, and the premium less. Also, there not going to release a new system and cut the price 6 month later to piss everyone off. Strom: I think what Fishy was referring to the fact that out of the three, Sony loses the most. That's why he states that both MS and Nintendo have that extra margin of profit to cut.

MS is charging $479 for the Elite because its going to be a limited run and have a black system case instead of the usual white. In other words, they know they can get away with charging an additional $80. Its already been confirmed that once the Elite is sold out, the Premium model will get all the Elites features but sell for the usual $399 price. The current premium model, 20GB model, will be sold at the Core models current $299 price. The only thing that is up in the air at the moment is the Core model. MS hasn't decided whether they are going to can it, or sell it at a lower price point.
