Happy Xbox 360 price drop day!

For those who have been living under a rock or have been "busy" the past few days, you should know that today is the day when the Xbox 360 price drop officially goes into effect! So far, Microsoft has announced that United States, Canada and (now) Mexico Xbox 360 prices will be effected by the price drop love. Most major retailers have already made the price drop adjustment with Amazon.com, Best Buy and Gamestop all offering the consoles at their new lower price. But we noticed some retailers (ahem, Target.com) are a little out of the loop, so be patient and be sure to avoid paying the older, more expensive console prices.Go ahead fanboys, buy your first, buy your second or be a nice guy and buy a 360 for a friend, because price drops are where it's at today.

And Europe gets screwed once again...

And yet there's still no love for Europe. As if we don't pay enough over here already. Come on M$, how about a UK price cut.

Picking mine up in three hours with $200 gift card to boot. After this conquest, I pick up my new TV. It's like holidays are already here!

It's affected not effected. To affect is the verb, effect is a noun. Effected isn't a word.

My local Target had the new pricing displayed last night at around 7:30pm. They had Premium and Elite units. I did find it odd however that the Core was still priced at $299.99 (none in stock) and the HD-DVD add on was still priced at $199.99.

This plus Halo 3 is going to move so many 360's it will make your heads spin!
360 for world domination!

Um, effected is a word dude, what are you talking about? And why the fuck does it matter? Are you like some grammar troll or something?

My buddy's waiting till September to buy it. He's hoping to get the HDMI and 65nm chip premium.

yea i went out today to buy one, yet their shipment wasnt there so all i got were some games, and i came home and saw the rumors and so i figure i'll wait to see if they're true or not

Anyone knows where I can get a Elite with the new heat sinks online?
Mark D @ Aug 8th 2007 3:38PM
I'll celebrate when the price falls in the UK, I've had to wait so long already to get one. :(

Wasn't the Elite supposed to be a limited SKU anyway? I thought the Elite wasn't going to be around for ever. If that's correct, then HDMI on the regular boxes makes sense.

Now is not the time to buy...premiums/cores with the newer chips and HDMI are likely just a matter of weeks away. Let the impusive suckers buy today; they'll be regretting it by this time next month.
