http://www.digitimes.com/systems/a20060726A1001.html Microsoft is planning to cut the retail price of its Xbox 360 Pro System from US$399 currently to US$299 in an attempt to compete with the PlayStation 3 (PS3), which will be launched by Sony in November of this year, according to Taiwan-based OEM component makers. Microsoft Taiwan denied the report, asserting that it is misinformation. Microsoft, to prepare for the price cut, has negotiated reduced production costs for the Xbox 360 with Taiwan-based manufacturing partners, stated the sources. The manufacturers estimate that the total production cost can be reduced by 15-20% due to diminishing costs for most components along with increasing production scales and decreasing defect rates, the sources pointed out. Considering Sony will sell a 20GB HDD (hard disk drive) and 60GB HDD PS3, each with a built-in blue-laser Blu-ray Disc drive, for US$499 and US$599, respectively, Microsoft plans to maximize the price competitiveness of its Xbox 360 Pro System by dropping prices so that the model can be equipped with an external HD-DVD drive in the future for under US$399, the sources indicated. Well like I have been saying all along a $100 price drop this year is a lock. I am sure for some of you this won't be enough proof, but for those of you with common sense it should now be easy too see that a $100 price drop this year is now a absolute lock. |

Yeah it's about that time anyways. I'd never spend 400 on the 360, or even more on the PS3 until a price drop. |
