A few people...Have now said that the Elite going down to 299 is not a real price drop...
You can't be serious....

It isn't an major drop, but a drop nonetheless. Since there was already a $299.99 360 on the market, not to mention the even cheaper Arcade model, this won't have a huge impact, certainly not as big as last year's drop had. A Slim $299.99 PS3 however, you'll see for yourself.

Ok Pathcer...Thanks for the update....

I care not for your ridiculous labels. I gave my opinion so leave it at that.

Well you are one of the first..If not the first person to to say that the elite at 299 is not a price drop....

Speaking of those not reading, are you sure I said it WASN'T a price drop at all? Please, read the highlighted.

"I think Ragebot said it perfectly. Think about it, if the Elite is being dropped to $299.99, this IS NOT a price cut. What it means is, you're getting an extra 100gb of HDD space for $299.99 (the same price as the Pro was). Those on the fence about buying a PS3, that really want one, are more likely to buy a $299.99 PS3/or Slim PS3 than a $299.99 Elite. Of course the cheapest alternative this gen is still the $199.99 Arcade, which happens to still be Microsoft's major ammo against the PS3.

Regardless, it's all speculation anyway, but since I heard about the Pro being phased out, this has been my prediction."
