Its not that I don't get "it". I see where you two are coming from. But see where I'm coming from also. The Xbox 360 Elite is a model. A standalone model, that cost $399 at the begginig of last year. This same model, the Xbox 360 Elite, now costs $299. Now, ok, lets (ignore microsofts official statement about their OWN product) and not call it a pricedrop for a second here...ready? ok...what would you call this instance of the "Xbox 360 Elite" being $100 cheaper than it was last year? What term would you use here then...since pricedrop doesn't seem to work (I could go into all tht walmart money off here and there yada yad, but...nah...lets jus stick to the black version of the console being $100 cheaper than it was last year)... |
is it the same model though? The Elite model that was 399 came with an HDMI cable, component cable, and the audio/hdmi cable. The Elite model now doesn't come with any of those things. What Microsoft actually did was stripped the old elite model of a lot of its extras and created a cheaper model, but it isn't the same model if you aren't getting the same things.
That is why people don't call it a real pricecut, because microsoft created a new sku at the 299 price, they didn't drop the old model's price. They just called it the same name.
