Xbox 360 price cuts on all hardware in September

#1 08-02-2008, 02:14 AM

Early Sept price reduction on X360 hardware:

* Arcade (no hard drive) to $199
* Pro (60GB) to $299
* Elite (120GB) to $399

We should also expect hardware and game bundles for all hardware
versions coming in the fourth quarter, just in time for the holidays.

To be fair, this is only a rumor. Granted it's the same source that
called it last time... but still... Not an official announcement.

$200 seems fair for the arcade pack, and $250 for the 20 GB system
seems right. The others seem high to me.

When the 20 giggers are gone they should lower the price of the 60 GB
system to $250. Then drop the elite to $350 or $300.

You can't even buy a 20gb hard drive anymore, yet there's still a $100
difference from no hd to a 60gb, then another $100 to the 120gb. Piss
take or what?

But even so, going of PC world prices at the moment:

40 GB - internal - 2.5" - ATA-100 £25.83
TravelStar 5K250 - Hard drive - 120 GB - internal - 2.5" - SATA-150 £30.45

I don't mind paying a little more for such a simple gaming device.
Just put in a disc and connect an ethernet cable and I'm LIVE playing
games with people around the world in a matter of minutes.

I remember paying a pound per meg in hard drives but they were real megs back
then not these smaller decimal ones.

I think it was a one meg upgrade for our amiga 1200 that floored me...
somewhere around £100. It wasn't long after we bought it that they
went belly up.
