Eh... It's still too expensive for my tastes. I'll be all over it when it hits 200.famicommander

You must not be playing ANY game consoles right now then. The Wii is $250, so that must be too expensive for you as well.

As for the price drop. It's a welcome, but M$ really needs to drop the price in Japan and in Europe (again) to really start moving some hardware. They'll move a lot of systems this holiday. I would love for them to keep the 360 Arcade and drop it down to $199 or at least $229. That would be awesome, but I doubt they will do this. Most likely they will phase out the 360 Arcade just before the holidays which isn't really a great idea.

They do move hardware and with the right bundle, they could move a lot more in Europe then what they already are doing. Japan is pretty hopeless, I know. Even if the 360 had a big FREE sign on it, I'm sure many Japanese gamers would walk by it and not give it a second thought. That's just the way they are over in that country. So you're right, it wouldn't do much in Japan.

You hate racing sims and arcade racers, but you're going to buy Mario Kart, Wave Racer and F-Zero? :roll: The PS3 has pretty much the same FPS, racing sims, sports games, etc.....as the XBox 360 does, but their system costs more. Also, many of the XBox 360 games comes with a 30 days free XBox Live trial, so you could easily play online for FREE for several months before decided if it was worth a 1 yr purchase (which is truly is of course).

To each his own.

Is it getting cold in here. But seriously that is good news, to bad I paid more than that about a month ago.-Sphere-

That cliche is so old.

I will buy a 360 when the finally decide to fix the RRoD, which by the time the next Microsoft console will be released, so it wont really matter. :P

What games come with a 30 day free trial? I know games like Halo 3 came with a 48 hour trial but not 30 days.

Why did it take Microsoft nearly 3 years to drop the price by only $100? :o

if they really want to sell like crazy, drop the Arcade to the "sweet spot" $199.

Sure hardcore gamers like us dont care for Arcade, but working-class income families will eat it up.

I think it's great, really really great that people can pay less for an RROD !

Good thinking MicroGod, I can't wait to buy my 3rd 360 !

XboX, i hugs it .
