Xbox 360 Elite getting US$ 100 price cut?

Following rumors of the Xbox 360 Pro model being phased out, we're now hearing talk of a price cut for the Xbox 360 Elite model thanks to a Meijer catalog that advertises a new price point for the Elite as well as what could be the date for the Pro phase out.

The catalog advertises a new price point of US$ 299.99 for the Elite, bringing it down to the Pro's price range. That's a whopping US$ 100 of the Elite's list price. It doesn't look like they're dropping any of the features too.

The catalog is dated for August 30, so the price drop will likely be implemented before then. Microsoft has declined to say anything official about it yet, but we'll probably hear something next week during GamesCom.

Considering there releasing full 360 games on marketplace with everything else. 120 G seems standard to the average xbox live user.I will def buy one now :)

Absolutely absurd, they should be paying us to use it, not cutting the price.

If this is true then Sony has to do something about their price too. I also feel bad for my friend that just got it for $399. Right now I only wish that they drop the price for the HDD for those that already have a 360.

if you hate the 360 so much why are you trolling the forums for it? I personally own a PS3 and a 360. My 360 gets used every day, I use my ps3 once every week or two, and I do not think anyone should "pay me to use it".

Last I remember Elite was the first system to get HDMI but since then Pro's have been sighted with HDMI and after that all of the new ones did. All Elite system has above the Pro now is that 120gb HDD and a black color.

I like to alert everyone out there thats all, especially when it comes to the Elite, the Elite is black and designed to trick people into believing it's like the PS3. Its not, just thought I'd warn all of you. It's as bad as all the other 360s. That is all.

Kind of like how the PS3 tricks people into believing it's a gaming console, cuz it's not, it's a Blu Ray player. Just thought I would warn you! :)

This is a good deal cuz in the furure ther will be many good games that will come out in 2 or 3 disks and there is games on demand also.

But what they should really should do is F*** the arcade and pro models Make the elite available in black or white, And then bring out a new SKU with wifi, 500gb hard drive in the same price as the elite Now that would be a good deal and they wont even make in Loss.cuz the wifi should probably cost 10 buck and the HDD will probably cost 50 And a new chip which will bring down production cost and bring the failure rate from 3% to 0.000000%

Microsoft might target them, but judging from your post Sony is the one getting them.
