Rumor: 360 To Get Massive Price CutsPosted 5:40pm Mon Aug 04, 2008 by Zach Lott Tags: Xbox 360, Microsoft, Price Cut
Been waiting for the price on the Xbox 360 to drop? Well, it's almost time to get one, as Kotaku has reported that fifty-dollar price cuts for all three SKUs (Arcade, Pro, Elite) are in the works for September. That'll bring the Arcade down to $199, the Pro down to $299, and the Elite down to $399.

This now makes the Arcade cheaper than the Wii, which will make September's NPD numbers that much more interesting when they hit in October. It's hard to say if this development can slow down the Wii juggernaut, but it could help the 360 break away from the PS3 this holiday season. It'll be fun to watch.

Many gamers have been hostile towards Microsoft in the past for charging for these features, most of which are free on services such as Steam.

Next was the announcement that the long-overdue GFW Live Marketplace is coming, from which you will be able to pick up demos, trailers, and more. Microsoft plans to make it as functional and content-rich as the Xbox Live Marketplace.
