No it doesn't. The 360 arcade is already $100 cheaper and is getting its ass kicked weekly. What makes you think an extra $50 cheaper will make the difference?

You aren't considering the many who want the console with a hard drive. A $50 price cut will be a definite deal breaker. Also, the update that allows USB stick support will make the Arcade models more desireable.

Not sure about price cuts, but 360 slim with no evidential proof?
Natal will probably be bundled with the 360, then it will get a price cut

That's Gordon Freeman in "Real-Life"

So a slim 360 Arcade for $149 and a slim 360 w/ some HDD for $199.

That makes sense and would be a good buy.

They definitely won't switch to no skus with HDDs. That would be silly, plus even in a slim size, they could still put a HDD on in a slightly different orientation. Plus, the slim model may still be the same width, just shrunk in the other two dimensions.

E3 is heating up to be really exciting this year.

Well we have all known a price cut was coming for MS this year, they haven't had one since 2008. The slim talk seems to be the standard PR leaks designed to build attention before the official announcement. As for the pricing I'm not sure about a natal package being priced at $249. I'm pretty sure MS is gonna want that at $199.

Because the overall sales would probably increase by at least 30% per week. That would put the Xbox 360 slightly ahead in weekly sales. Although the effects of Natal/Move would also change the dynamic as well but all else remaining equal it would be a reasonably significant boost for sales.

Do you know what its like to live on the far side of Uranus?

When the 360 goes below $199 its a signal that the generation is coming to an end.

i think this statement you just made is wrong! so is (rumor i no) going to b ring out a slim 360 and natal then bring a new xbox out soon after ??

i really doubt that as they need to make some money back on there investement and bringing out the 720 will lead to big losses again

This is pure SF :D Slim without HDD ??? Yeah, right... Maybe Slim Arcade version but there must be a Slim with HDD.

I think it will be something like this: Slim with 250Gb HDD - 250$ / Without HDD - 150$
