Xbox 360 Price Cuts Imminent

Microsoft is holding their E3 press conference tonight. What should we expect? Well, according to overpaid palmreaders analysts, Xbox 360 price cuts are in the works. You didn't think Papa Microsoft would let Sony go unanswered, did you?

Basically, $50-70 price cuts are expected on all three Xbox 360 models. Wedbush Morgan-analyst Michael Pachter predicts the Elite will drop from $479 to $399, the Premium from $399 to $349, and the Core from $299 to $249. Hey, that's Wii territory! If these figures are correct, things could get pretty interesting in the console sales world, especially when games such as GTA IV start hitting shelves and Wii owners are stuck with WarioWare 15 or whatever Nintendo has planned for this fall.

Expect Uk prices to fall end of the year.

Might be looking at a core system once price cuts happen. I never got any xbl ban errors after may update but stayed offline just in case. Just put ixtreme 1.2 on my Hitachi 78 and it turns out that I was banned anyway. Boo.

It would be a no-brainer if in the states - core is rumoured to be dropping to $249 which buys you £123 at current rates

But the good news is all my 'backups' work fine on 1.2 so i don't have to reflash :biggrin
