300$ for a 360 premium?
Absolutely no excuse not to pick one of these up. The software selection is really good and the new hardware changes are fairly solid as well.
I think this will be the 360's last price drop myself. If guys don't eat this up then its because they just don't want it for whatever reason. The price, hardware, and software is absolutely there at this point.

Hopefully those who don't have a 360 can pick one up now. Great selection of games.

$300 for a Premium, nice. Note to Microsoft: REMEMBER CANADIAN PARITY.

$20 based on the previous price drop, they have to show a distinct price difference.

Price drop + die shrink = insta-buy

I'd pick up an extra arcade at $199

Would dropping the Arcade's price under $250 (cost of the Wii) have any effect at all?

Still looks overpriced. Not enough price drop after 2 and half years since launch.

That's pretty tempting for anyone looking on that side of the fence. Great software and XboxLive--the more the merrier.

Why get rid of the Elite? It sells, and it is a much better deal then buying a seperate harddrive. Of course they could just make that cheaper, but it does not really serve any negative purpose now that it has been around so long and all three systems are the same outside of the extras they include.

Would this be a good time to trade in a 360 for credit at one of the game stores & rebuy a new HDMI one when the drops hits?

That is what I did when the better quality models came out. It certainly reduced the constant worries of it breaking down again, but I am not sure how much money you can get these days.
The pricecut could just be to move the premiums if the new 60gb premiums are actually going to happen. Then they will cut the price on the rest of the models once they are introduced.
Interesting timing. I thought they'd do it before GTA IV, and when it didn't happen I assumed they were holding off until the holidays. The timing here probably means they'll do another holiday bundle rather than a second round of cuts.
And Microsoft said last year, when Sony cut the PS3 price at E3, that it doesn't make sense to cut in the middle of the summer like that, unless you're forced to.
Mmmm.
Also curious how the other SKUs get cut. A $50 accross the board would be nice, but I doubt that's coming. Dropping the price on the $100 and $180 HDD would be nice too. And also, a pony.
