I was at Walmart last week in Canada and I was surprised to see flashy "Rollback" signs in front of the Xbox 360 Pro and Elite Holiday bundles. You know the ones with Kung Fu Panda and Lego Indy. The new prices were:
Pro = $248 CDN = $201.48 USD was $299 CAD
Elite = $368 CDN = $289.88 USD was $399 CAD
Well I know that Xbox360 has been selling very well lately but I am a little shocked at the large price rollback. There are a few possibilities for this senario.
1) Resident Evil 5 red elite bundle is out and they are trying to clear out the old systems,
2) They are changing the sku's so the are trying to clear out the old systems,
3) They overestimated demand and ordered too many and are trying to get rid of the overstock
4) All of the above.
Walmart is HUGE and I think that when they "Rollback" prices "The prices are falling!" that would be the same as an official Microsoft price cut?
