Dell is offering the 360 Arcade for $170. The Pro is $254, and the Elite is $339. Should we assume price cuts?

I did buy my 360 off Dell this month, actually. They have some ridiculous deals.

You can get the 360 Pro w/ End War for $258, the arcade w/ Rock Band 2 for $199, the arcade holiday bundle for $179, or the Elite holiday bundle for $339 all at Dell. This must be strategic marketing on Microsoft's part. But the same Sony bundles seem to indicate that Sony is going out of business. You guys should consider some research before you blindly believe things you read on the Internet.

 

Who said Sony is going out of business in this thread?

 

It was an ironic remark intended to highlight the overall tone in this thread and the article it discusses.  Posters on this thread seem to believe that this is a retail fire sale for Sony, or as the article suggests a failed precursor to a price cut.  The fact that Dell is just as aggressive with the 360 pricing undercuts any claims made by the original author and posters on this thread.
