Hmm... I doubt $50 will make much of a difference. I'm still waiting on those damn 65nm chips. $50 price break or not I don't care I just don't want the thing to die, even like 5 years down the line.

So anything that doesn't drop by $100 won't make a difference? I remember the PS2 and Xbox got a $30 price drop and it made a difference.

Just $50? ... Ugh. Not going to make me buy a 360 any earlier than I planned. $100 would maybe, but not $50. That barely makes any difference. :|

Yeah not enough to make me go buy a possible defective one off store shelves. I'll wait until the chipset comes out and maybe another drop.

yea i heard about this in the LA times a few days ago, it will spur some but not a lot. its nice right before halo and whatnot, but they really need to fix the hardware problems before dropping prices.

As most people are already saying $50 isn't really going to convince that many people. You're likely to see the same thing we saw w/ the ps3 $100 price cut. A ton of sales one week, and then the next week it's just sitting there again.

I guess we can hope this is just walmart trying not to loose so much cash when the actual price cut comes.

A 50$ price drop makes the core model the same price as a wii so it will make a big difference.

That $50 is pretty much added with LIVE so you still would be paying $400.

umm no. the price drops bearly effected the sales rate. yeah i bet if you look back there was a small rise but do you honestly think the 50 dollars price drop will make people go OMG now that save 50 dollars i must buy a 360. now if your looking at and you see 100 dollars price drop that puts the core cheaper than than the wii and premium just 50 dollars more that will turn some heads

Who would buy a CORE 360 just to play 360 games without LIVE? LIVE is what Xbox 360 is all about! Unless you can have XBOX LIVE gold with a memory card...

So if the ps3 launched at a price of 300$ and it got a 50$ price drop you wouldn't buy one?

I agree that you loose alot when you don't have xbox live but every game has a single player mode and the only games i activly play online is gears and rainbow six. And yes you can get xbox live gold with a memory card.

Just sitting there? Where did you get this information from? I've seen nothing to indicate the PS3 sales surge has went down any - beyond amazon at least.

Edit - It's actually still #5 at Amazon still!

What is wrong with you people? A $50 price drop is the industry standard around this time. Only Sony needed sumthin to tout the boost of sales for the PS3 which is why you see a $100 drop of the PS3. Most of the people who are acting like MS needs to drop the 360 by $100 may not be fanboys, but you are sure acting like it by thinking Sony has set a standard for price drops in the gaming industry.The 360 and Wii are doing fine in this console war, Sony is the only company that is still trying to find its position this gen which lead to a radical change in tactics...The 360 price drop was needed and will be appreciated by gamers!

Game On....

Maybe if they would include the 64mb memory unit with the core, it would help it sell. Atleast people could save their games and play online. Core hopefully should go to $249.
