Forums - Microsoft - Microsoft to cut 360 price before the PS3?

funny how we are looking at both MS and SONY preparing for a price cut, in 3 years both system have gone from a ridiculous price. Meanwhile the wii , well we know that story.

What will it take for both consoles take the whole market, they will soon be cheaper than the wii.

I hope we can put to rest that the wii has sold so much because of it's price, if that was the case MS would of kill it in monthly sales...

will be interesting to see PS3 and 360 the same price. Since i heard rumors most people dont buy the arcade.

 

huh, Elite is gonna drop in price, Pro is gonna disappear, and people decide .... to stop buying Arcade ?????

why

this makes no sense to me

I have read on here before people  saying that the pro and elite was the majority of 360 sales.

The only REAL affect to Sony's pricecut would be an Arcade pricecut. Otherwise, a $299.99 Elite won't change much, if anything.

It really depends on how much the PS3 winds up being.

It makes sense, but I would wait until november.



And that's the only thing I need is *this*. I don't need this or this. Just this PS4... And this gaming PC. - The PS4 and the Gaming PC and that's all I need... And this Xbox 360. - The PS4, the Gaming PC, and the Xbox 360, and that's all I need... And these PS3's. - The PS4, and these PS3's, and the Gaming PC, and the Xbox 360... And this Nintendo DS. - The PS4, this Xbox 360, and the Gaming PC, and the PS3's, and that's all *I* need. And that's *all* I need too. I don't need one other thing, not one... I need this. - The Gaming PC and PS4, and Xbox 360, and thePS3's . Well what are you looking at? What do you think I'm some kind of a jerk or something! - And this. That's all I need.

I can still see these as clearing out. I really think for optimal cost reductions MS should go with a larger drive. At NewEgg right now the drives under $50 consist of 1 120GB drive and 6 160GB drives. For the next year 160GB drives probably the sweet spot for cost.



Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.

If somehow the Fable 2/Halo 3 bundle gets cross referenced with the $299.99 elite thats a hell of a steal even as a Falcon unit.

I'm guessing MS is just going to release a 300+ gig hard drive in the future if their download full titles becomes popular (which it may not right now unless they decide to make those prices more competitive).



It's just that simple.

can this really be considered a price drop? the casual buyer / gamer mom will see the same 299 price tag he could see before when buying a "real" xbox 360


Its called offering more for less...it matters down the road.

True but normal consumers don't really pay attention to that imo. Ps3 offers built in wifi, a blu ray player, unlimited free online access,  yet that hasn't really shown consumers it's worth the price.

That Bundle sold like no one buisness out here...I don't see it anymore..



 



A few people...Have now said that the Elite going down to 299 is not a real price drop...
You can't be serious....
