 i think he tgrying to say in america,but that doesnt matter,WW is what matters

Well. It seems like the brave soul that lost his job over posting about the price cut information was worth it.

At any rate, I'm glad that after 2+ weeks of waiting, the news has finally confirmed the news story I posted. I am glad this proved all the doubters wrong.

This will certainly boost sales for the X360. By how much? We will have to see. But a $199 price point for the Arcade is incredibly good...I may even have to buy another, to ensure my Girlfriend has a system to play her RPGs on.

Geeez a lot of folks on this site are super sensitive, and what does it matter if the ps3 beats the 360 by 20 or so thousand for the next 3 years, if they don't catch up. Sony drowning the company trying to catch the 360. At Skeezer, It's funny because the wii is kickin both in the azz.

Good stuff. Unlike the last price drop, I'm positive this one is going to be huge. The Arcade's going to become the most popular sku all of a sudden.

Yes its true...and I have nothing against the wii, it's great, I might get one soon, if I can get a job.

At 199 I might get one for upstairs just so I won't have to get out of bed on my days off!!

ummm.... actually, that would be M$ drowning the company to beat Sony. $6.5 billion loss? Now that my friend, is insanity. Especially considering this price drop will really cut into the meager amount of dough M$ has been making on the Xbox in recent months. Also, what does the Wii have to do with this discussion?

How much of that $6.5b has been lost this generation? Why not compare X360 losses vs. PS3 losses? Oh wait, that may destroy your argument :-p

Lets see - Arcade: $80 off, and its a 30% cut to the retail price.
Premium $50 off, and its a 15% cut to the retail price.

The Premium now costs 50% more than the Arcade at the relative prices of $200 for the Arcade and $300 for the Premium.

Wheres before the premium cost 25% more than the Arcade at the relative prices of $280 for the Arcade and $350 for the premium.

The difference between them now is quite clear, the Arcade is of unquestionable value when compared, well to anything.

Well, without that initial $5 billion loss/investment on the Xbox, the 360 probably wouldn't exist, so it's probably fair to mention.
