Some things to ponder.
Checking newegg. Laptop 20GB hdd cannot be found. Only 40GB hdd is $6 more than a $60GB hdd. So a 20GB hdd is propably at least $10 more than 60GB hdd. MS manufacturing ranout of 20GB hdd and it is stupid to pay more for less capacity. So they want to start producing the 60GB 360's.
So they have probably 300K or more 20GB pro models. They may or may not have plans to reduce price in the fall after Jasper motherboard is main units being sold. What do you do?
You keep prices the same on Arcade (Doesnt have hdd) and Elite has 120GB hdd. They also are not made in same quantities. You offer all shipped 20GB Pro's for $299 to clear them out. Some 20GB hdd you rip laptop hdd out and replace with 60GB drives. In July, August and September you clear out the remaining Falcons through sales of Elite and Arcade at normal prices, 60GB at $350 and 20GB you clear out in July and August.
Then in October timeframe the jasper lineup comes out for all SKU's at new lower prices perhaps. Either lower prices or more profit or more features.
Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.
