Rumor: 360 Price Cut Coming?

January 22nd, 2008 by MrSpinch Leave a reply »

Per gaming blog TheBitBag (and an unnamed Microsoft tipster), a surprise price drop of $49 might be waiting in the wings for the Xbox 360 Premium bundle.

The cause? Grand Theft Auto IV. The tipster says:

Now if you are still a PS2 or Xbox owner sitting on the fence waiting for this game to be released, then it would be a good time to invest in a next gen system.

Of course, remember that this is a rumor, and I generally don’t believe anything from an unsubstantiated source until it happens. Still, for the few of you who don’t have a 360, this could be Good News™.

    If MS was smart, they would most definitely do this: Get the Premium to $300, the Elite to around $400 (preferably below) and the Arcade to $250 or less… If the Premium was priced $100 less than the cheapest PS3 and the Arcade was priced lower than the Wii, they could dominate 2008.

    That would be a smart marketing move.
    Now I have an ever bigger dilemma: get another slim PS2 to replace my broken down backup console (I still have 1 working slim), get the PS3 and pray for good games, or grab another 360 so I don’t have to share with my significant other any more. With a price cut, that last option would look sweeter.
