how much can they cut? thier hardrive isnt the same as ps3 ones, they are more expensive.

elite is $299 same price as ps3 now, so i guess they will knock it back to $249

They both use standard 2.5" notebook drives.  They are the same price.  I am betting that once they clear out all the Pro's and stuff the new price points will be Elite $249, Arcade $149 by the end of September.

Dit someone say "Bingo" ?

Imagine that...149$ for a 360... now that will be something this holliday.

BTW,the Elite doesn`t need a price cut at 300$,the Arcade does...at 150$ it will be half the price of the ps3...again!

Having the cheapest console on the market helps a lot,and having the high-end model the same price as your competitors entry-model helps too. Even if you don`t have blu ray or wifi or free online,in the shoppers mind he is getting an Elite,the most expensive model,at the same price of the competitons cheapest model. You can`t beat that.
