As of today, Microsoft has dropped the US retail price of all three Xbox 360 units.
The Elite drops $30 to $450, the Premium drops $50 to $350 and the Core drops $20 to $280. Meanwhile, they will be releasing a limited fourth "Halo 3 Edition" in September. This version will be like the old Halo Xbox in color scheme with an HDMI port ala the Elite and a 20GB hard drive like the Premium and will run $400.
I've been wanting to get one for months now and this is finally the excuse I needed. Looks like I'll be picking up the $350 dollar version soonish.
Also, does anyone else think this bodes problematic for Sony? Sony were the first of the current generation to drop their price, but immediately recanted by announcing they'd be dropping the newly cheaper unit in preferance of an identically priced unit with extra hard drive space. With Microsoft's announcement of a price drop, Sony will be spending yet another holiday season with a product that costs more than both their competitors' products combined ($599.99 for the PS3 with no cheaper option come holiday season Vs. $599.98 for a Nintendo Wii and Xbox 360 Premium Unit combined).

Yup, this is all I needed to justify getting one. In two weeks I shall be joining everyone on X-Box Live, yay!
I'm kinda thinking I'll be nabbing Dead Rising and Viva Pinata with it. Settlers of Catan will be a definite early purchase as well. I expect to beat some Settler ass online with at least a couple of you folks once i get mine damn it!

I remember when Xbox Live was full of cool people. Those were the days...

I'm not buying until post-Christmas, which will guarantee my Xbox has the new 65nm architecture. :D

I bought my ps3 when they announced the 100 dollar price drop for the currrent system.
I dont regret it at all. It's unfortunate though, that sony gets so much shit for their price, when it's still cheaper than buying an xbox360 and a hd-dvd player. and it comes packaged with a blu-ray player.
The only thing I have a gripe about, is gta iv just got delayed (for both systems)
