Some Minimum wage GS employee said this, NOT GS.
Go get a job at GS, then you can be E-Famous!
Lol. I heard from a Burger King employee that McDonald's is going out of business...then he finished sweeping the floor.

Squall, your usual pro 360 news is already here, someone already posted this.
if the 360 gets any llower in price its cause there scared of the ps3. Wiis not scared of either so thell see no reson for a price cut
Well scared is kind not relevant, MS would do this because it would bear the question "Why bother getting a 360 when PS3 has blue-ray?" so MS knows they have to lower prices because of qualtiy difference that's under the hood of each. True about Wii, they haven't had to be worried about sales numbers since late '07-early '08if the 360 gets any llower in price its cause there scared of the ps3. Wiis not scared of either so thell see no reson for a price cut

did you read this months us sales chart, lol ps3 was near last place ,japan doesnt matter since iwi has already had 9 ,million plus sold,
the surge in sales will eventually stop for sure,
theres no way on earth just one game will make ps3 catch 50 million it take a miracle ,
especally since ps3 isnt selling very good elsehwere europe etc,
us and europe are 2 of the biggest countries wii stis on top of both ,,
and in jjapan to,
even thogh corrupt gamer beleives just because ps3 out sold wii 3 weeks,
in a row , means it gonna catch them lol ,
1 month is nothing compared to 3 plus yrs of chart dominance ,
itll take sony another 3 , by that time wii 2 should be out, so good luck
Through 2009 MS has sold way more consoles. Killzone only pushed the PS3 ahead of the xbox by 20k and now the numbers have normalised and the xbox is way ahead.
If the xbox does get a price cut its only for the reason of being competitive in the market. Remember the xbox has been out for 4 years, production costs have reduced significantly in that time. I think it would either have a $20 price cut.
The previous price cut for the 360 was a rumor too (started on the Vgchartz site I believe), and that turned out to be true. The Red RE5 360, and Xbox 360 Elite were also rumors that turned out to be true, so I wouldn't dismiss this next rumor just yet, lets hope its true :)rumor? I think I'll wait to see the prices on a retailers site or print ad.

Another price cute? Nice thread title. lolpamplinas322MS reducing the price of their console because they are in love with their customers, how CUTE :P
[QUOTE="shawn7324"]
I doubt either will cut price. PS3 will need to cut quite a bit for me to get one.

holy cow, 50 grand achievement score. Great job, i just sh@#$^ some bricks
What? I have 81,000 and a Big PSN score...he's got nothing on me. King Kong's got nothing on me.
Good news for me. I've been meaning to buy a 360 arcade ever since my old one got the RROD 3 times. I still need to play Gears 2.
Call them desperate or w/e u want but a 99$ Xbox 360 would literally kill sony. I doubt it though, it's already piss cheap.M$ getting desperate
LunchBox-
I'll believe it when I see it. Sony is going to lose HUGE money this year if they do a price cut now in April. Plus if they cut the price now, they won't have any momentum when the holidays approach. So I doubt this is going to happen. Why would M$ do a price cut now, when their system is selling just fine. I smell a BOGUS rumor.Link

I don't think M$ is scared at all. I think they just want to make sure their lead is sustained. Sony did that exact same thing with their PS2. Anytime Microsoft did a price cut, so did Sony. Wii doesn't have to do a price cut because they are outselling both the PS3 and XBox 360 by large amounts every week. They have a substantial lead over the competition, so they don't have a thing to worry about.
I doubt it, they were either taking a loss or breaking even on the 360 with it's current price point. To drop the price again, especially by $100 would put them at a loss yet again. Wonder if they would have the balls to do it. munu9
Not sure why people are still saying this, but you guys a wrong. Microsoft's XBox 360 has been making a profit for the past 2yrs.

Back in Nov 2005 they were losing about $125 per Xbox 360 sold and that's when the Pro cost $400. It's amost 3-1/2 years later and you still think they are losing money on their system? LOL!!

In the meantime, Sony was losing twice the amount of money at launch, they the XBox 360.

Well, if I take Moore's law literally, it took them 525 to make the pro back then. By Nov 2008 it should cost around $270. Maybe $250 by now. So they're just barely making a profit. And to drop the price by even $50 would mean they break even. To drop the price by $100 would mean they take a loss yet again.Applying the same logic to the PS3, it cost about $800 to make back then. By now it should cost around $400 to make. So they're breaking even again. They might even be making a profit on the $500 version. To drop the $400 version to $300 would mean taking a loss again but it only be a
they drop the price when the sales of there console drop past a certain amount, then tehy drop it (the price) to boost it back up (sales),

I doubt there will be another price drop on 360 this year, i mean it is already cheaper than Wii, with free games in that package and is a real next gen machine, that rivals1000+ PC and 400$ PS3 systems (actually surpasses PS3 in visuals in most games and huge open worlds)
So, if they cut more, would be like giving you a ferarri for the price of a bike
