They should cut it down to like $50.

im not goign to report you but was this necessary?

The best thing to do is to not even respond to comments like that because all you're doing is giving him what he wants.

And another 360 price cut would be interesting, though I won't get my hopes up until I see printed ads or hear something from Microsoft.

Why is that exactly?

Sony perhaps wouldn't want to spend the R&D costs to shrink their console right now and also the hardware is less mature so they may not have reached that stage yet.  Given the 360 has been out longer it is indeed more likely they'll be able to shrink their components first to release a slim unit.  Other costs associated with a redesign of course include setting up manufacturing lines, clearing old stock, advertising, etc. 

I personally doubt we'd see a slim until next year on either though, the 360 will probably need another CPU and GPU shrink and maybe integration to move to a slim.  PS3 is probably a easier solution as they can move to an external PSU though and they maybe don't require another CPU shrink if heat is significantly reduced.  As Sony are trying to reduce costs right now and move into profitability then perhaps this is the biggest reason they'll hold off on any plans for a slim.

This is all just my opinion of course.

Hurry up and get to $99 then I'll have no excuse not to "jump in" lol

the 360 is out selling the PS3 by allmost 100k or more a month in america.
if MS drops the price again it will be over for sony,,,
sony is like 8 million behinde the 360 in america..
thats to big of a lead

@pristine20

Haha very funny

You already have no excuse, u dished 400-500 $ for a 1 demensional system with weak online play and development issues .

What's the point of the thread?  This is like people who go on the PS3's thread and asking for $100 price cuts or more.  I'm just putting it out there so that more people could play the 360.

Soon they will be selling them for $99. Buy two and use the other one for spare parts.
