Between all 3 models!

As earlier posted from a "close source to MS", he's now appearently true.

Target's most recent advertisment gives the full pricing of the new X360 models:

Core - $279.99 ($20 off)

Premium - $349.99 + Free Table Tennis ($50 off + $30 game)

Elite - $449.99 ($30 off)

If this person is legitimately true, then the next part of his statement (which echos what I've been saying) is also true. He basically stated the pricing info 2-3 days ago. In addition, he also said that MS is clearning out old pre-falcon models at this price. Once the old X360s are DOA, MS will re-launch the new 65nm X360s just after Halo, but before GTA, and knock the X360s down another $50, and maybe even $199 for the cores..

This price drop is not compelling at all. I'll be surprised if it bumped sales all that much.

20 dollars is not gonna boost core sales, 30 dollars is not gonna boost elite sales. The premium is the only one getting a significant drop and a small one at that.

What a misleading title.

I agree, 20 or 30 dollars off isn't going to do much. If they really want to move some numbers, they should go 200/300/350 (core/premium/elite). But hey, maybe for the holidays.

So you guys are expecting another price drop this year? So one in August and one in November? That sounds too early for another drop.

If they had a $200 Xbox 360, no one would even think twice about buying it. It would be a must buy, much like the Wii.

If Microsoft wants do be second in the American market in the long run (after wii), i believe they'll need to do something drastic with their prices this year, and these drops aren't enough (they appear to be a lackluster response to Sony's drop).

So it's a fifty dollar price drop like everyone thought.
