Rumor (Pretty Much Fact): Xbox 360 Price Drop … Err, Again
by Beau Rosser on August 25, 2008 at 7:16 pm
Hot on the heels of the last Xbox 360 price drop is the rumor of yet another drop in the near future, this time on the Arcade, Elite and 60GB Pro SKUs to coincide with the previously dropped 20GB Pro bundle.
Kmart was the leak-culprit on the previous price drop, only to outdo themselves with the accidental slip of their September 7th ad showcasing the three new 360 prices: $199.99 for the Arcade, $299 for the 60GB Pro, and $399.99 for the Elite.
As a person who has yet to make the plunge on a 360, I like where these price drops are headed. With the Wii still selling like gangbusters and the announcement of the new PS3 SKUs last week, this holiday season is gearing up to be fantastic, not to mention all the exciting games being released. Oh Fall, why must you ruin my bank account?

I’m not sure I agree David, I have a 360, and I haven’t used it in over a month. I grew tired of the disk unreadable errors.
I am by no means a “fanboy” of either console, but I think that now is probably the best time to buy a 360 because its seems they are finally working out the kinks.

David,
It’s not that I don’t like the 360, but Microsoft has yet to confidently prove to me that they know what they are doing hardware wise. I refuse to put my money behind a machine that is so widely known as being faulty.
