Forums - Microsoft - In your opinion, would a $299 360 Elite be a good move on MS's part against

299$ elite would be non event

sorry, it WILL be a non event

what matters is the Arcade sku = entry price

Elite is more or less similar to Pro ... at the end, it is still good for people wanting a 360 !

Same as 2008. Can a $350 20GB 360 Pro "keep up" with a $400 40GB PS3? The answer is yes, quite easily, it did, we know this. All MS need do is drop $50 by September 2010 and we'll have a repeat of last years events.


LOL... the 360 vs Ps3 isn't just Elite vs the 80 gigger. The reason it did well against the Ps3 is because of the lower end models.

I think that the only way a $299 elite wins out over a $299 PS3 is with really good bundling (modern warfare 2 / Halo ODST)
Otherwise I think if Sony goes for the $299 price MS will have to move the elite to no higher then $249 and maybe cut $20 - $50 off the Arcade version.

LOL!!!




The Xbox 360 is viewed as a $200 console. Unless the price goes down from there, a drop in the pro or elite model means absolutely nothing. It may help a little bit for a week to a month, but compared to the ps3 going down to $299.99, it's a no show.



It's a pretty good strategy to battle the PS3 @ $299. But they could've canceled the Arcade and made the Pro $199 and Elite $299. The arcade version sucks :/.

Uh that was the price of the systems as of most of 2008. the Xbox 360 Pro was $350 and the lowest end PS3 was $400, Sony made little progress in the US that year, the the 360 dropped a mere $50 off its price and boom, the PS3 was completely wiped out.

Tell it to Aaron Greenberg, he already confirmed the Xbox 360 Pro is the best selling SKU.



an elite is just a pro with 120gig HD nothing more.

i predict the price of elite to drop but it wont be a major drop or anything.

my ass

For me, during the holidays, ARCADE was just the main reason explaining the Xbox360 success last year

I hope ninty will drop the Wii price to kill the arcade !



Time to Work !

If they drop the elite to 199.99 I might consider buying one

Unlikely since it's not as popular as the Pro.
