Will it more likely happen on the release of HALO 3?

Or will it more likely happen during Christmas?

Are you joking? The amount of money they will make with Halo 3 and Christmas is going to be insane. Also there will be Mass Effect, COD4, Assassins Creed.... GTA...

They would definetely not drop the price when Helo 3 is released because everyone will buy a 360 to play Halo 3, therefore they will rape the sales then.

I think rateher than a price drop when halo 3 comes out we will see the halo 3 package consiting of a 360 and a copy of halo for free, I dont belive there will be a price drop for some time though, not after the red light 3 year warentee inceident.

they should drop the price now$100 up until the date that halo 3 comes out and let it be known that the price will only be dropped for a limited time to get more people to buy 360's in anticipation for halo 3, then when halo 3 comes out you will still see massive sales numbers through christmas

The new 65 nm chip should start shipping this fall, reducing the manufacturing cost a lot. Its codenamed Falcon and can be googled. My predictions:

1-They will keep the same casing to save money even though they predict the weight to drop by 50%. They may put the power supply in the casing though.

2-They will ditch the core system, drop the price of the Premium by 50$ only but add HDMI and a bigger harddrive. If the PS3 could do a little better price cuts would be greater.

3-Since the system was originaly released in November, my guess is the cut will come in that same month.

what yan1978 said, the 65nm will improve the 360 all around: performance, cost, cooling

Yea I also heard that coming with the release of the new model with the 65nm chip that they're changing the gpu? But I don't know how official this website is plus I don't have a link anymore I forgot it....it was a while ago sorry. It should be cheaper once this model releases though. I just hope it's by august 1st like everyone is saying.
