And the hits just keep on coming. Joystiq received the above email -- sent to GameStop employees on Tuesday -- from several anonymous tipsters. The email details the arrival of signage regarding an "upcoming announcement" from Microsoft set to take place on August 8. As we try to rack our brains as to what such an announcement could possibly be, we are reminded of the ever mounting evidence that an Xbox 360 price drop is imminent. We're just going to go out on a limb and say that this is related. We're also guessing that nobody (including Microsoft) will officially confirm it until August 8.
Just to pass the time, how about you help us come up with some other kuh-razy thing it might be. Wait a minute, it's probably Voodoo Vince 2. You heard it here first.

Bill Gates is going to announce he is giving everyone in the world $2 and that he is still going to have a ton of money left over.

I bet it is a device that looks similar to the old xbox headset that allows you to control games with brain waves. That would really put the sixaxis and wiimote to shame.

Bill Gates net worth: $56 billion
World Population: 6.6 billion
6,600,000,000 * $2 = $13,200,000,000
$56 billion - $13.2 billion = $42.8 billion
Hmm...your point stands KC.

As I said once the first rumors started flying, the price cut WILL come before the fall.

The announcment is that master chief is really a girl with a voice mask on. So all U Halo lovers can stop feeling gay for materbating to him.

It's either price drop signage, the announcement that Steve Buschemi is the Master Chief, or that Playstation 3 is being discontinued :)

Nintendo and Microsoft are forming a strategic partnership in a vain attempt to fight off the overwhelming advantage the bluray drive gives the PS3.

They are going to give up and follow the Wii and PS3's lead and release horrible games that you control with your toes only. And before you fanboy's flame me I have a WII still waiting for a few more decent games!
