Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Xbox 360 price cut week of Sept. 7; 60GB $299, Elite $399, Arcade $199

http://n4g.com/industrynews/News-187162.aspx

It appears that two of the Xbox 360 SKUs will receive a $50 price drop by the week of Sept. 7, making the 60GB model $299, the Elite $399, and the Arcade will drop $80 to $199. A few of our retail contacts, some of whom have given Joystiq good intel in the past -- and who all work for separate corporations -- have sent us identical information regarding a price drop. Evidence of the Elite and Arcade price cut can be found in the gallery below featuring images sent us from the Sept. 7 Radio Shack flyer.

Now lets see how well this price drop goes over... We know how well the last one went over according to NPD...



thats huge to drop all three sku's.



Microsoft has never been able to keep any kind of huge announcement under wraps.



Nice. I like price wars.

why do i have a feeling they are dicontinuing the arcade and just trying to push it off the shelf?



@DMJ we already had confirmation from seperate sources, 3 IIRC.



Tease.

Interesting. I wonder how the sales will be.
