and dude 360 got a $100 pricecut where you been?

So true.  I'm tired of 360 fans trying to do some weird play on words and logic to say that PS3 and Wii got a price drop, while 360 didn't.  "But they really didn't.  They just phased out the Pro and replaced it with the Elite."  Uh, did the Elite just drop $100?  Yes, nuff said.

But is the Pro around anymore? Uh, no?  And the Elite is identical to the Pro? Uh, yes?  Therefore it was no more a price drop than when the 80GB PS3 took over the 40GB PS3 place at $400 and the 160GB PS3 came at $500.

The only difference in this situation is that they kept the Elite nomenclature to, as I said, discretely increase the value without actually having to do anything.  It was actually very smart of them to do it this way because everyone knew that the "Elite" was the best 360 and so it would be better to drop the Pro name.
