The rumor that wouldn't die has once again reared its ugly head as a new advertisement hints at Xbox 360 price-drops across the board. According to an ad from Radio Shack the Xbox 360 Pro (60GB) and Elite units will receive a $50 price drop by the week of the Sept. 7, making the 60GB model $299 and the Elite $399 while the Arcade bundle will drop $80 to $199. Source spies within the retail industry have given Joystiq similar intel from other retailers hinting at the same rumor. Check out the flyer in the gallery below.

dude, you can get a GREAT 6 foot hdmi cable that's mostly american made [read: not sweatshop labor]at bluejeancable. c o m for < $20. The markup on cables makes MS' hard drive look like off-brand cereal.

XAV, you think this is enough of a price cut to justify getting a 2nd XBOX for the bedroom?

So, let's review... when the 360 launched, you (essentially - headset, ethernet cable aside) paid $100 for 20Gb. Then when Elite launched, you paid $80 for 100Gb (and an HDMI cable, comparing the Pro to the Elite) or $180 for 120 Gb (compared to the Core).
Now, with this latest price cut, you pay $100 for 60Gb whether upgrading from from the Arcade to the new Pro or from the new Pro to the Elite. Somehow $80 for 100 Gb seems a lot better than $100 for 60Gb. What happened to MS's police of setting the price differences between the consoles on the (rediculoysly inflated) prices of the stand alone HDD?

Shame it isn't sooner. My 360 is dead and will be out-of-commission for the next few weeks, and I wanted to pick up another 360 (which would later be given to my brother) in the meanwhile.
I guess I'll just buy a PS3.
