Behold: The 360 $299 price cut gallery of proof

by Richard Mitchell { Jul 10th 2008 at 1:00PM }

While we generally operate on the principle that all rumors about Microsoft are true, we still get a thrill when we start to dig up real proof. What could be more thrilling than proof? How about a whole gallery of it? Our compatriots over at Joystiq have assembled just such a gallery, a veritable mosaic of "$299," the supposed new price of the Xbox 360 Pro system. Check out the images and believe.

I've been dropping articles like this in a (360-less) friend's email inbox for the last week or so...

Y'know, just a little friendly peer pressure :-)

I wouldn't inflict a 360 on my worst enemy, not at least until Microsoft FULLY fix the 360's RROD and disc scratching issues.

I really want to get the 360 at $299, but I just need to know if the 60GB will have built in wireless or not. If it does, I'll get the rumored 60GB... if not, then 20GB for me it is.

no it will not dude. smarten up.

Just do what I do and get a bridge, cheaper than Microsoft's wireless attachment.

Microsoft isn't about to start integrating WiFi. Not when they can charge a billion dollars for their adapters (well, $99 but whatever).

Then again, don't blame me if you bite the bullet and find out I'm wrong :)

Hmm slow news day? Ha ha

DJCueball,

None of the 360 skus have ever included buit-in wireless so odds are, the 60GB will follow suit. But, according to the rumor, the 60GB will debut at the current $349 and not be sold for $299, at least for a while.

DJCUEBALL @ Jul 10th 2008 1:48PM

Thank you for the responses. I guess I can go get the 360 at $350 now and then price match it on Sunday. Question to Van... how can I set up a Bridge? I have a wireless DSL router/modem and currently use my PS3 with the wireless connection. Will that interfere?

You missed this one...

I am getting the Pro this Sunday. it would be cool if the 60GB Xbox has wireless but either way i will get a wireless adapter from Amazon.

Yeah, I work at Target and grabbed next week's ad today and say the $299 price along with the $25 gift card. what a great deal. I'd go to Target for the $25 off Kieran and DJcueball...As for me? I can't wait to buy a 60 GB HDD, i'm down to my last 1GB.
