even if MS does drop the price they wont drop the price for the elite. thats what matters most. MS will need more then a price drop to combat sonys games at e3.

MS will have huge games.
Ninja Gaiden 2 and Geow 2 would seal the deal.
Gears of War 2 will not be appearing at this years E3. The director of epic studios said so himself. It was one of the news from last week.
banjo 3 wont be big, belive me, xbox gamers arent into most Rare games, the sales of all thier games were low besides PDZ and thats because it was a FPS.
unless the ps3 drops. but i price drop can't determine the winner of e3 tho, but a ps3 price cut would be bigger news than a 360 price cut, since the $600 and all...
if ms announces a price drop (elite $399, Prem $299, discontinue the core)and all those hot games they got coming out (alan wake, Res Evil 5, HaloWars, Indiana Jones) they will own e3!!!!!!!!
neither company will announce a price cut at e3. i dont think ms will even talk about it. discussing price cuts tells consumers to wait not buy. i think rather than announcing a price cut actually making one would be the right move for sony. i dont think ms will cut the price untill november giving halo2 a couple of months to move systems at the higher price, and the cut price will allow them to dominate christmas sales. i think ms will wait untill the last minuet to announce a price cut, 1 week at the longest. i dont believe nintendo will cut the price untill they stop selling out and build up inventory to sell post price cut. i think sony wants to wait also and see uf gta4, ut3, and ac can sell units for them before cutting the price. but with the same games on the 360 at a cheaper price i dont think it spurs sonys sales much. that's why a think the sooner sony cuts the price the better, they are just missing out on 6 months of game sales if they wait for the holidays.

M$ will have games at the E3 as well you know. If Sony doesn't announce a price drop before the holidays, they are going to be in a world of trouble. M$ will do a price drop. It's possible they will drop the price on all 3 SKU's. They will probably drop the Core & Premium by $50 and the Elite down to $450. Sony needs to drop the PS3 down to $450 for them to have a good holiday. I don't think a $100 price drop will be enough.
Core should be $200, that would put a slow down on the wii. anyone looking for a wii that has $250 already could get 360 Core + GTA4 or Halo 3.HeHateMe_basic
No. The Core should be discontinued. Every 360 should have a HDD in it. Don't know what M$ was thinking when they decided to create the Core sku. Mostly everyone bought the premium and only a few people got the Core because they couldn't find a premium version.
ms wins if they get sony to do lie detection testLARGEBASTARD
lol, but first, I'd like to see MS finallyroll out those smaller, cooler 65nm chips. Otherwise, a price drop won't mean anything to me, the product itself needs to be improved.
it's too late to discontinue the core. from a pure game development perspective, all 360 games must be designed without the HDD. games could have been even better if there had been a standard HDD. that's what I cared about.

It's never to late. Discontinue the Core now and developers can start using the HDD for every game in the future. People who have a Core and no HDD will just have to buy one for games that require the HDD. The N64 had several games that required the RAM Card to play them. This would be no difference. It's not like people with a Core don't have a option to upgrade with a HDD. With nothing but premiums on the market, developer would definitely make all their games using the HDD.
It's all about what games are shown and which company has the most people interested in their products. Last year Nintendo won. Gamers from all walks of life ran through Sony's booths (as Sony reps looked on) and scrambled over to Nintendo's Wii, just to play their games. I don't see any of this happen this year since the E3 will have mostly business reps and a few journalist from major gaming mags.
Does the loser get a bronze Trophy? Like A for effort?!
But, Microsoft won't "win" E3 on a pricedrop alone. Add some Halo 3/ Ninja Gaiden 2/ Banjoe Threeie/ GeoW 2 -age with a price drop and Microsoft could perhaps bring home the gold.
