They could have atleast dropped the premium to $299 for such lousy hardware. Damn and I was thinking of buying another xbox 360 to put in my lounge room.

If this doesn't help 360 pass 10 million then that's just terrible.

From what it looks like according to the blogger (and mind you he's talking to store employees only) it looks as though the price drop does not effect the Core system, how weird........

That's kinda odd, I was under the impression they were dropping the core $50 to compete with the Wii.

Yeah, I also thought so as well. I guess they can't afford to drop the price of theCore just yet. They probably make money on the HDD now which is why theydrop the price of thePremium and the Elitebut not the Core (because it doesn't have a HDD)

The Elite is still the best SKU, HDMI really does make a difference. The only thing it lacks is WIFI which is a bummer.

You might have to wait for them to flush out all the ones that have shipped and are still on the shelves that were made one with the design flaw to sell before you can be sure you get a newer one that should be devoid of this flaw (one would think they'd fix this......right....?)

unfortunately they needed the headstart. I think the strategy still was the right move and the holiday sales will prove it.

Headstart on what? The Wii? They could have competed with the PS3 head on no problems...

I dont know about that. PS3 had too much of a brand awareness about it. Microsoft offered next gen when it needed too and now the #'s prove that it was the right decision.

Will they still include a game? When I bought my X360 it came with motoGP 06 but it also could have came with PD0 or COD2. But even if it still comes with a game $50 will not swade people because of all this bad press mircosoft is getting with the X360 and realiablity issues. What microsoft needs is not a price drop but a more realible system. Hope these will be both meaning yes $50 off and no more defects.

3 year warrenty is not good enough. for starters it is a pain in the ass to talk to their tech people. They had my address wrong and I almost never got my X360 back. 2nd they do not give you new systems but refirbished ones. Plus something we pay $400 or $350 now shouldn't be this badly made. It should work. X360 has some of the best games this gen and with a $50 price drop you would think X360 is back on track but until microsoft can create a more realible system many people will still be turned away from it.
