TGR's Rumor Killers: Price Cuts and Battle of the Rhythm Games

8
TGR - "Microsoft played the role of tease at E3 by announcing that the Xbox 360 would see a $50 price cut, and the only catch was that it was only for the Pro model with the 20GB hard drive, and it was only temporary until the unit could be replaced with the new 60GB version, which would retail for the normal $349.99.

A price cut would make sense... The last one was just more of an inventory reduction...

Well, I'm not impressed that the Arcade might be dropping under $200, since it lacks a hard drive (and therefore much of the advantage the 360 has over the Wii), but I'm definitely hoping the Pro goes to $299.

If another string of 360 price cuts come down the pipe, I'd point to a new chipset being the cause. That could mean as early as September (if the cuts are announced soon), but that would still leave a ton of the old chipset models lying around... will take some time to filter those out.

An Elite for $399 is pretty appetizing, but I think I'd prefer for it to drop down to $350 before I take the plunge and upgrade.

Honestly, I'm more interested in a price drop for the external hard drive. I know I need more than 20gigs of space, but I'd rather risk blowing my warranty and hack a standard hard drive to do it.
