    360 price drop?

    Anybody know when the price is dropping for XBOX 360? Know how much it's going to cost after that?

    I still don't own one . If the price drop isn't until 2007 and isn't even that much of a drop, I'm gonna get one as soon as I have enough money. Damn bills keep me from getting it.

    i haven't heard anything about a drip drop thus far. and i really wouldn't expect to see one untill this time next year.

    with the P$3 comming out at $500-600, Microsoft would be kinda daft to make their $400 system cheaper.

    if you end up buying one i highly reccomend the $400 combo package. it is absolutely worth it.

    there are 3 options really.

    1- u can buy one online with a vendor coupon which will run you about 340 for a premium

    2- buy the new pgr3 canadian bundle, which you get more for your money.

    3- wait for the new 360 chip revision. which they will start in jan 07. this aint really cash saving option, but less headache in my books.

    I too have been waiting for that elusive price drop but don't see it happening any time soon. Being stuck on the corner of brokeville and pisspoor for a while now myself I completely understand.

    do the walmart dupe as they call it if you really want a 360. some people get ps2 for 20 bux at walmart sometimes.

    how it works is walmart will accept unopened games back without a reciept for store credit. ''some'' people buy online bargian games at 4.99 , and return them to walmart. if the game still 49.99 at walmart, they get 45 bux to every 5 bux spent. the things you learn on xbox live

    nah it doesn't make sense for Ms to drop the price yet. the 360 as a combo pack still sells for $100-200, below what the P$3 will launch at, so there'snot competitive need to undercut sony.

    if anything, MS might drop a 360 combo with the hard drive and the HD dvd player for $400-500. in november or december. it would be cunning if they did.

    indeed it would. but i woundn't expect it for a while.

    MS is more than likely going to see how well the PS3 and Wii sell. the go from there.
