I heard a way more realistic rumor on Listen UP that the Arcade would drop to $129-149. If MS can afford to do it, I say go ahead. Certainly won't hurt in the eyes of the consumer. The Pro 360 will need to drop by whatever price the PS3 does. I strongly believe that the PS3 is nothing more than a 360 with a Blu-Ray player. If they are both $299, I think only idiots would chose the 360 rather than getting a PS3.

The New XBOX is going to be called X5. Why?

Because it's rival will be the PS4, and common joe's will see : Xbox 5 is better than a PS4!

Just like marketing for the 360.

XBOX 360 is more than a PS3!

The Xbox 360 has 60 more of something!

[QUOTE="delaystation3"]

[QUOTE="Kamikaze-Sushi"]His logic is GENIUS

SolidTy

Its so Genius it just might work !!Nonstop-Madness

The cool thing is M$ will come out and say, X5 is based on the amazing GPU and CPU combo, or an experimental airplane that they love, etc., so no one will be the wiser on the real reason.

I could care less, X5 just sounds alot better than Xbox 720

thats ONE THIRD of the amount of syllables. Yea that's alot of time saved.

i doubt it'd be $100 ..more like $150-$175 if they do drop it again. maybe $100 off other sku's but i highly doubt their lowest cost sku would be $100 until the next xbox arrives.

I'm so glad you are entitled to your own opinion and you are freely expressing it, too bad you are wrong. I'm enlightened by the fact that you are expressing your beliefs (still wrong, by the way), and you are encouraging me to totally destroy this remark. But, I will not.

At $99 I can see a bunch of sheep getting pretty nervous :P I serously doubt the price will go that low, a new PS2 is $129 today.

By below I mean less than 200. What's the point of getting arcade if you still need to fork out 40-60 bucks for a decently sized HDD?

Somewhere between 100-150 would be resonable for me, preferably a model with HDD.

What is the production cost of a 360 console anyways? I know theSony is losing money on every console sold but is M$ making money off consoles? Or are they dependent on software sales?

And M$ strategy is just starting to irritate me.Instead of offering better exclusives than the competition which sony did in 08 and is looking to do in 09 they are just offering a cheaper console which can play all the multiplats.Oh and dont give me that it still has more AA-AAA.Seriously am not talking about someone wanting to buy a new console.Suppose you already have a 360 would you like to go back to the first generation 360 exclusives after experiencing games like gears 2.Where are the new exclusives M$?????????

This. Additionally if you already own a 360 you have no doubt already played the older games anyway.

Hmmm....I wonder.

I bet they'd release the pro bundle at the Arcade's price if anything, and drop the Arcade down $50 or so. I did read an article where MS is supposed to be dropping the Elite bundle, and just selling all the other stuff at a cheaper price I think.

Meh, if the PS3 hits $300 I'll pick one up most likely.

I agree with you on the pricings for the arcade and pro, and I too read that article about the dicontinuation of the elite so I think its very possible that the Elite will go down to $299.99

That would piss me off since I got one 5 months ago. I'd also be a little worried that they'd anounce a new system as well. I'm going broke from this generation.

If they made the sku with the HDD $200 then I'd probably finally have a reason to get a 360. IMO, my PS3 was worth the money but a 360 at the current price isn't worth it (especially considering how likely it is to break).

well hopefully some of that is at least true. i think that microsoft might get rid of the arcade and just have the 20gig, 60gig, and 120gig. thinking about it, it would be $99, $250, $300. i think they might knock the arcade version out. i already have a 360 so, i'm going to be getting a ps3 next.

Good luck making money with the 360.

Now with the recession and all i dont see share holders liking that move at all. Unless the 360 hardware is really worth crap, literally.

Great way of completely running away from backing up anything you have to say!!! The line up of the two systems is basically the same. Most of the good games are multiplats and the exclusives are matched. 360 has Forza, PS3 has Gran Turismo. If you like racing sims, it doesn't matter cuz both systems have a top tier AAA quality racer. 360 has Halo 3, Ps3 has Killzone two. If you like high quality FPS, you're not gonna be missing out on any gaming experiences by getting one over the other. If a PS3 and a 360 are the same price, buying a 360 means you getting the same gaming, but for some reason you could have gotten a Blu-Ray player for free, but you passed it up. I could understand if the PS3 and 360 weren't the the same price. Then you could say that blu-ray doesn't matter and you went with the cheapest option. But if they are the same price, why wouldn't you go for the free Blu-Ray player?

a 100 dollar 360 would be insane. Microsoft is NOT playing around this gen, they really want to stick it to sony.

That's what I'm afraid will happen to PS3 if they drop the price $100. I say they stay face for awhile since Mid-March sales look good for them.

99 dollar Super G arcade SKU I can see it now! "no ethernet port, no packaged controller and no cables!" Seriously though, drop the Live fee entirely and I'll buy the pro tomorrow.
