say whattt??? yes folks, they are killing off the 360s older models: http://www.joystiq.com/2010/06/14/microsoft-no-longer-making-current-360-console/

first thread for mods

ha ha 1st for the mods sorry bout that other thread leo i never thought to check for it in the sales section

no surprise why would they manufacture 2 different types of consoles i would pass on them older models the new ones are far superior unless ur tight on money 

i like the new look of the new 360 it also adds things 2 more usbs and wifi whisper quite unlike what sony has done since the ps3 has launched, axed ps2bc, memory card readers, only has 2 usbs, and got rid of nice shinny finish

but unless they come out with a sku thats $150 i dont see them beating sony in sales this holiday season i beileve that the new 360 will get a price cut to $249 sometime between sep-oct of this yr or around reach natal launch that will help it, but wont provide a sales swing we saw with ps3 last year and 360 in 08

also belive sony will axe the 120gb ps3 and move the new 250gb down to $299 it may even come with ps2 B/C so if the new 360 is $250 or even $200 a $299 PS3 (with the same size 250gb that the 360 has) on the market that has bluyray and free online seems like the better choice value wise

then we move to bundle wise as of now new 360 natal is $399 it may go to $349 or $300 soon i see ps3 move bundle being in the $349-400 range i believe the PS3 will have no problems outselling it this holidays season

Ummmm I'm pretty sure everyone already knows this...its only common sense.

Of course why would they continue to produce more expensive (to produce) models?

if they release a slim arcade for $149 I am sold =P

Unlikely if the rumored Kinect bundle price of $299 is correct. The whole point of a bundle is to save money. Bundling something that's $150 with something else that's $150 for $300 would be pointless.

I might actually be buying the new console,  I am really starting to like the way it looks and love the idea of the wireless N built in.  I would just have to find someone to buy my 360 for a reasonable price.   

One question though,  will this model have the 3 year warranty on it or is that only the old model?

Will their still be a 199.99 $ price point ?

No, from my understanding only the $299 price point
