Well it looks like the 360 is now the same price as the PS3. First Walmart then Amazon. Who is next to sell the 360 for $249? Target? Gamestop? I really don't think they will raise the price back up for the holiday season. This is when the holiday bundles come out. They will probably keep the price at $249 and pack in a game with it this holiday season giving the PS3 the death blow.

360 is going to diminate this holiday season with Halo 4, Forza Horizon, and Dance Central 3. There's something in there for everyone and for a mere $250 its hard to say no.

I saw the 360 for $250 at my local Best Buy aswell. It's almost like MS has dropped the price without saying a word. Must be to combat the Wii U.

I'm on MS's payroll now. Sony used to pay me to post pro-Sony propaganda on SW but refused to renew my contract since I bought a gaming PC. MS contacted me so I'm with them for the time being.

MS really needs that to be their standard retail price, not just an Amazon special, if they want to be competitive with PS3 prices, but they've already done well this generation and their next one starts within the next year, so maybe they don't really see a need at this point to be competitive with their pricing.

Yeah everyone in the real world knows what Zombi-U and The Wonderfull 101 are. They will be flooding stores this holiday to pick up those games.

If you actually want to be realistic, it would be that several people who own a Wii still think that all the Wii U is is a new tablet controller that goes with the the Wii that they already own.

Those are 2 games that no one cares or knows about. Crap they couldn't get rid of in the garbage bin for five bucks. Makes the uneducated public think they are getting a good deal. Atleast MS packet in 2 games that were good. Halo Reach and Fable.

It's actually a good marketing strategy. Instead of strait drop the price make the public think it will only be 50 bucks cheaper for a limited time to spike sales. I am getting a 360 tomorrow.

I think these consoles should be $99 by now. $250 for consoles that only get mediocre games is a rip beyond reason.

Dance Central 3? Come on... get a grip.

*Edit* Aren't you the guy who prefer the PS3 and said that PC/PS3 combo is the best? Now you're siding with the 360... Being a manticore doesn't suit you very well. It just makes you look dumb.

Please link me to an instance where I have ever claimed to be a manticore. And Dance Central definitely has an appeal in the real world. Have you seen the sales of Just Dance? Casuals love dancing games

I think it has something to do with Amazon refusing to sell 3DSs because of some reason that I forgot. Conspiracy is that Amazon is lowering the prices for 360s to make the Wii U less appealing and take another jab at Nintendo.

Its stupid that this far into current gen... less than 2 months left actually, of this gen. That the 360 & PS3 are still priced the way they are. 360 & PS3 should be priced at $150 for base models, $199 MAX for the ones that have larger HDD's, and for that $199 they should be coming with HDMI cables.

Doesnt matter much to me though, since I have all the current gen systems, just an observation.

Should that be surprising? It's a new console. For Nintendo's sake it damn well better sell more than hardware that has been on the market for 6+ years.
