Mill o’ Rumour: $100 Price Drop on August 1st?!

by

Rumors have persisted for a long time about an Xbox 360 price drop. Michael Pachter (what does he do? Seriously, he’s like Mel Kiper! You see him once a year (around E3), and he’s a ghost the rest of the time) even went so far as to tell us to “expect” a price drop for the Xbox 360.

Well, apparently we can “expect” those price drops sooner rather than later. According to several “internet reports”, a major (although as yet unnamed) Canadian retailer has confirmed that the Xbox 360 is set to receive an official $100 price-cut on all SKUs. What that means, in short, is that the Xbox 360 will officially become the cheapest console on the market.

  • Xbox 360 Core - $199 (includes memory card)
  • Nintendo Wii - $249
  • Xbox 360 Premium - $249
  • Xbox 360 Elite - $399
  • Playstation 3 - $599 ($499 for 60GB SKU)

    • At the time of this writing, Microsoft has yet to respond to my inqueries. But rest assured, loyal readers, I’m not going to rest until we’re given an answer to this.
