Just Kinect bundles, that's all.  Unless they release the bundles at the same $199-299 price point . . . . . . .

You mean Xbox slender?

Sorry?

Ignore him he's just deflecting.

Is it his implication that the console is not in fact Slim?

My counterargument would be that at least the Xbox 360 got more attractive with it's size reduction...

I think it depends on the post slim sales numbers. If Xbox can do well compared to the PS3 (which I doubt after the first wave of "slim" adopters) than they won't, but if the slim introduction is just a sale spike after which the nubers returns to their previous levels (which I believe will happen), than they'll cut the price comming to the holidays, be it bundled with Kinect or standalone.



MY HYPE LIST: 1) Gran Turismo 5; 2) Civilization V; 3) Starcraft II; 4) The Last Guardian; 5) Metal Gear Solid: Rising

They'll do it if they feel it's necessary to beat PS3. But right now I'd appreciate having more than just one option in your poll.

Off topic, I think the "S" in XBOX 360 S should be for "Stealth", or "Sexy"...i'm not sure how applicable "Slim" is.

Regardless... back on topic, I DO think the 360 will get a pricecut this year at Kinect launch time.

Epic poll, btw.  HAHA!

Yes!!

I don't think the one just released will get a cut but i think there will be a new arcade version. That will probably come out just before holidays or around when Kinect comes out.

The first week of the Slim's introduction in the USA has been a roaring success.

That said, when the Slim has been rolled out worldwide for a few months, and the two new motion devices for the HD consoles are released, things could look different.

Do you feel it is Microsoft's plan to reap higher economic rewards from a few months of Slim sales at this price point before making a price cut?  Or are they planning to let the price remain until a cut sometime next year in the slow period?


They added WiFi. They aren't gonna undercut their own accessories.

No.

But they will make a Kinect bundle which comes down to be the same basically.



theprof00 on 28 June 2010

doubt it. They will be riding the wave of new hardware through christmas.

There won't be a price cut. There will be sales just likie every year, but no pricecut.

Last year, if bought a 360 at walmart, you got a 100$ store credit card. Why have a price cut when the biggest retailers in america are willing to gimp themselves to sell one?

EDIT: also, there may be a kinect bundle for 399 or 349 rather, to compete with sonys bundle
