read the Q&A with microsofts shane kim...I read it earlier and I dont really remember much of it but he said there wasnt going to be any price cuts anytime soon. Plus i was talking to the owner of a game force and he said he doubts there'll be any price cuts for 360 for at least a year, because of the new 3 year warranty and everything.

I don't think the PS3 price drop is going to stop people from buying 360's anyway so MS will wait as long as they can. Aren't they going to be losing 1 billion because of the 3 year warranty?

They need to drop it a couple of hundred dollars. They are competing against the Wii more than they are the PS3.

Drop it a couple of hundred dollars? Haha yea that would be nice... MS is earning off every 360 sold unlike Sony, atleast that's what I've read. I'm pretty sure they want to keep it that way. And 'a couple hundred' is a bit much don't you think:P

Yeah, it's quite a bit, but at the same time, Sony doesn't seem to be the competition. It's the Wii that's selling like crack. Price your console based on the leader, and while the 360 is the current leader, the Wii is closing the gap quickly. The Wii is only 2.7 million behind the 360. It looks like the Wii is gaining about 500k a month or so (just a guesstimate, feel free to correct) on the 360. Based on that trend, by Christmas time the two consoles could be neck and neck.

Surely Microsoft could cut the price, they should be making a killing off XBox Live Arcade and Movie Rentals. That's almost like free money, and thus far Microsoft by far has the best online functionality and features. Couldn't they use it to subsidize hardware sales?

haha, thats what i was thinking... i believe that they said, they made over 2 billion of software this or last year... plus all the money from consoles, overpriced accessories, and everything else they make, (computer games, comp software, ect.) i'm sure them losing 1 billion is like one of us losing 50 bucks

Well now once the 60gb is out of stock then its going to be discontinued, so it's back up to $600 now for the 80gb w/ Motorstorm. I'm glad there wasnt a price drop because I got my elite a week and a half ago, and I wouldve been mad if they gave it a price cut.

I would love it if they just dropped the Xbox 360 Core sku's, cause its the most pointless thing in the whole 360 line up. Honestly if you can't afford the Premium, then you have no business playing with a Xbox 360 cause in my opinion if you don't have a harddrive and/or XBL (whether you have internet is a determining factor) then why did you buy a XBox 360? You're better off with a Wii..

Well if this were true, it would be absolutely perfect, only 19 days away. But for some odd reason, I seem to be doubting this article. 1 maybe because they spelled "receive" "receice", or maybe because "according to internet reports" doesn't seem too legit to me. Sounds kind of like a speculation from one website spread across to other websites. But then again, hopefully, I'm completely wrong.
