The 360 has gone down what, like 50$ in the last two years in north America.

Thats rediculous considering in less time the Ps3 has gone down 200$!!!!!

You know they might not be struggle-ing if they had the 360 at a cheaper price. What do you think?

Yeah that too. considering i can get a USB wireless adapter for about 30$(for a PC) at the ol' Walmart....100$ for the Wifi, and paying for themes...these two things need to die.

A Premium should be $299. You can get a PS3 with 20GB more, Wi-fi, and Blu-ray for $50 more than a Premium now.

Premiums are 350$. And thats hard to believe. They should be about 200-250$ right about now.

That was the PS3. And why drop when the standard PS3 is the same price?

They've been turning a profit on each 360 for atleast a year...I think its $150 for each console sold,and that was a year ago so ofcourse its more now.

When did the PS3 drop by $200 to my knowledge it only dropped by $100 you don't count each model as multiple price drops it was one major one.

Microsoft and Sony will most likely be dropping the price soon anyway given the bad hardware sells rcently in N.A.

It dropped $200 because sony realized how big of a mistake it was to price the PS3 at $600.

True. But like BioShockOwnz pointed out, the "Gimped" PS3 that only costs $50 more blows the "Premium" Xbox 360 out of the water.

I think the PS3 STILL needs to come down another $100. No system should ever cost more than $300. I have a Wii and a 360 and neither one cost me more than that. I'll never pay more than that for a game system.

It went down from it's $600 launch price.

Surely it's $100
