The just announced, but long rumored Xbox 360 Elite price cut has kicked into gear.  It is now available for $299.99 at most retailers!  In addition, Xbox 360 Pro (60GB) model is being offered at the $249.99 price until supplies last.

The Xbox 360 Elite and Pro models hasve been discounted for a few hours now, but have already rocketed to the top of the Amazon Movers & Shakers List.

Another big reason for the sales surge is that Amazon is offering a free 12 Month Gold card ($49.99 value) with the Xbox 360 Elite, and a free game with the Xbox 360 Pro model.  

They are limiting this promotion to 1 per customer, and it ends September 1, 2009.

Damn, another Amazon rankings thread...

Consoles always go to the top of the ranking after getting a price cut. Move along, nothing to see here.

^^LOL.....was gonna say the same thing cause I remember ppl wer bitchin about using amazon for ps3 slim sales but I was scared I would get flamed =(.

Yeah, but if you go to the actual best sellers list, PS3 slim is still top, and there are no Xboxes to be seen:

The top selling Xbox is the Elite + Halo 3 F2 at #36

Of course, this will all change as the price cut has only just been introduced

this.

I lol'd hard when someone said Batman AA on the PS3 is higher than Halo ODST and actually believed in it in a way that Halo might get outsold by Batman.

i was checking amazon and slim still #1 360 elite bundle fable 2% halo3 #36 xbox 360 elite#47

i never said that halo odst will be beaten by Batman ps3 but believe it or not amazon #3 batman ps3 #6 halo ODST

expected

So this should be the perfect proof that amazon is NOT a good indicator for sales at all. This just shows us how stupid it is to use amazon for sales.

ODST haven't been released,

 i think that updates daily, preorders vs preorders+ actual sales.
