Cut the price already!

they should do it. xbox 360 needs a price cut.

lol, I just ran google translate on their Halo 4 listing:

"...initiating a new story again threatened by a notorious Master Chief threatening our whole universe."

xD


OT: While I don't really see what would be so strange about only cutting the price in Japan, I also expect this to just be a typo.

Edit: Huh, guess it wasn't a typo after all.

Well apparently it's not a typo unless MS themselves also did it. It's listed right there on the Xbox website, 250GB 360 Value Pack (w/Skyrim DL code and Forza 4) slated for an October 4th release at 19,800 yen. (10,000 yen less than the previous 29,800 yen pricepoint for the 250GB 360.)

edit: Looks like it is happening as it is being reported in the JP news as well.

Oh man, that would be great if that did end up as a worldwide thing.

Not to mention Skyrim already did impressive numbers across all platforms, but including it into a main bundle like this would spike that even further.

It would be a good idea and guarantee that they woul outsell Sony significantly during the holidays

But I dont think its gonna happen

€dit: forget what i said^^

Honestly, even if they did I doubt it would have a significant impact. Every holiday retailers have specials on the 360 which roughly reduces it's price temporarily by $100. If they had a price drop the deals wouldn't be as substantial and the result would be the same. I believe we would see the effects more after the holidays die down and ps3 might not gain its usual ground.

Might as well cut the price everywhere but Japan.  Japanese gamers don't like Microsoft.  Plus, the yen is pretty damn high against the dollar still. 

I think MS will do Sony and wont cut price WW.
