I think Microsoft is actually being really smart, discounting the arcade in some way (or just letting it be discounted?) without officially dropping the price, or bundling really good games with the elite, getting some mileage out of that before they make the big price drop announcement and everyone who didn't know they could have gotten the system for 150$ in March suddenly realizes it's the perfect time to buy a 360. Probably gets way more impulse buyers on board to spread things out that way. It just seems like good business.
Sony on the other hand got me to sign up for a credit card just so I could get 150$ off a PS3. Had to think about that for a while... but in retrospect it was worth it :)
