I scanned the 60 gig and the Elite today with my RMU (retail management unit) to see what events are coming up and it show the 60 gig is dropping to $299.99 and the Elite is dropping to $399.99

It didn't give a date for the Elite and that means it could happen tomorrow but im not sure about that yet.

Now the 60 gig said it will be $299.99 in the Sep. 7/08 weekly ad.
I dont have the ad yet but Ill try to get one we get them next week.

Looks like a nice price drop. It makes me wonder about the Arcade model though, and what the new price will be for it. There is no way they can leave it at $279 with the 60GB at $299. I know there was a rumor that it was going to go to $199. That would be great if true, but $229 is probably more reasonable since the other models only dropped $50.

$199 plus a 2nd hand 20G drive makes for a pretty cheap serviceable 360.

If that's the case, I think I may pickup an elite so I can move to HDMI...

Spiderbite

Nice that there is a price drop but why the $100 price difference between the 60gb and the Elite? Is a black coat of paint and 60gb worth a 100 buck difference?

Trevor

Doesn't it also add HDMI?

edstein

I'd like to see the 120GB add on hard drive drop below $100.

fumanstan

Pro's have HDMI now too.

Gizmo

Pretty much its just a black console, black controller, and 60GB more space. That's it.

lordzeppelin

And it has the audio adapter.

It's dropping to $150 but you can get a 120GB off ebay for right around $100. I got mine for $95 shipped.

This is not an arbitrage opportunity, but for hardcore downloaders (RB/GH and others), this would be a good opportunity to sell your XBOX now and upgrade in a few weeks to the larger hard drive, HDMI, new chips, etc....

DarthPrime

All 360s, even the Arcade, have HDMI now.

Michael Corvin

I just got a brand spanking new 360 from sending in my 360. Made in May 2008. No HDMI.

So they still make them w/o and reserve 'em for RROD people.

Gizmo

Michael,

That probably have a built up supply of the older ones.

Michael Corvin

Maybe, but the fact remains that it has a 5/08 manufacture date. Seems odd to me.

Music

Maybe that is the remanufatctured/refurbed date... or the date they manufactured that label... I don't believe the date on the back of the replacement unit I got last year... it was supposedly newer by that date... but was loud and had an older DVD drive.

I just bought the 60gb one on the 13 of august.. any chance of circuit city refunding me 50 bucks? does the 30 day low price guarantee apply to the xbox? it also came with a $30 gift card.

DarthPrime

Has there been anymore news on a price cut for the Arcade model?

DJ_Longfellow

I noticed Best Buy has the 20GB for $259.99 online.

$199.99 for the ARCADE also.

HotThang

I bought my Elite on August 7th at Best Buy and they price matched it for me today for 50 less. Woohoo!
