3: YOU'RE RETARDED. Its for people who haven't bought one yet, and were waiting for a lower price. Its not at all supposed to help those who have already paid for one.

Zeus, it actually can. The core is $20 cheaper so when the main 360 dies you can have a core as a backup for Halo 3. :P

In all seriousness, I'm glad for this. Most of the hardcores have their console, but for the Madden/ GTA player, this is very good. :)

It means I can possess the majesty of an Elite sooner than later...by um...twenty bucks.

There will be another price drop in October, core will be 250, prem will be 300 and the elite will be 400.

If you are right, Shawnzee, I may just a get a 360 instead of a ps3. For a while.

My PREMIUM 360 broke down on me... Sent it in to Circuit City [because I bought a 3 year warranty], they sent me a gift card with 430.99 [tax...] But I did not include the hard drive in, as I stated... I also bought an extra wireless controller... So tomorrow Im going to buy the Core, and the external HD-DVD drive as well...

There probably won't be another drop in price until Holiday 2009 or later.

It's only effective for the USA anyway.

Why not $50 across the board? Maybe they don't want to seem as "cheap" as the Wii, but it's not like M$ is known for its high quality. I don't get it, they always seem to have the right idea, and then somewhere along the lines they try to see how they could fuck it up. IMHO

Elite-399
Premium-349.99
Core-247.98
BAM!! Good to go...

I don't understand the pricing structure on the Elite. It was previously an $80 value over the Premium, and now we are to believe it is an $100 value over the Premium. That's just stupid. If the hardware value has decreased $50, then it should decrease that much over the spectrum.

HaHa, my friend just bought an Elite yesterday. :(

He = Owned

But best buy has a 30 day price guarantee though, doesn't it?

Reply

@17 Yes, He needs to just bring the receipt back & they should reimbursed him.

Back on topic, SWEEEEEET!!!
I've been wanting another 360 for another room/parties. Never liked playing split screen.
Well now I can go get my Elite!!

SWEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!

a $20 price drop on the core?
thats still too high of a price point.... if it's not going to compete directly with the wii, whats the point.
If they're only going to drop it $20, they might as well discontinue it.

while the elite price makes it a little more round, i'm sure they could have afforded to knock off more than $30. to get HDMI and a bigger HDD is now $100 more, instead of just $80, expect to see elite sales drop.

Get rid of the core already it cost more to upgrade the hard drive $280 plus another $100 to get a hard drive if you want one or drop the hard drive price by $30 or $50. This kind of stuff M$ does gets me pissed off at them.

It makes a lot more sense to drop all 3 of the systems $50
