Microsoft to drop price of Xbox 360 Elite to $299DVDBack23 @ Aug 12, 2009 20:47 | 15 comments
Today, Kotaku is reporting that rumor is indeed fact, and a Meijer catalog leak shows the Elite seeing a price drop on August 30th, alongside the imminent phase out of the Pro model.
The Elite will see its price drop to $299, leaving only two options on the market, the $199 HDD-less Arcade model and the now $300, 120GB HDD Elite.
Of course, "Microsoft does not comment on rumors or speculation," but we know better already.

Comment by: wabashman (Aug 13, 2009 04:09) my guess is for their current price until this drop officially happens, then the stores will pull them from the shelves and ship them back to MS. after this they will remove the 60 gig HDs, and put in the 120s, and send them back out to the stores.

Just flashed my drive as well. Use the store credit for then new one. No matter what you have done to it (IMO) the deal is to good to pass up. |

Comment by: varnull (Aug 13, 2009 15:20) Why don't you lot just fit a bigger drive instead of paying more money for something you already have?.. that was done on day of release.
