For those keeping score at home with your official X3F E3 Prediction Bingo Card, you can mark off the Xbox 360 Price-cut, the new Xbox 360 SKU, a 60GB HDD and the Too Human E3 XBLM Demo squares. It's a shame those weren't all in a line together. It's almost as if we planned it that way!

But wait on Amazon.. they have Elites for 399.99 price drop!
Xav de Matos @ Jul 13th 2008 5:01AM
That's their own deal, not an official price-cut.

I don't see why this is being done, I've never come close to running out of room and I have a 20gig.
..Although perhaps that's because I'm from the UK it might be different for America..but this seems a bit needless to me.

For you knuckleheads that say this is "needless"... just because YOU don't have a need for it doesn't mean the rest of us don't. All those map packs, arcade downloads, movies, TV shows, etc. add up fast. Apparently you people never download a thing.
Alexander @ Jul 13th 2008 4:14PM
Arcade and dlc don't add up that fast unless you have a big collection of games. Outside of America the movie/music/tv show collections are pathetic, there's barely anything.

i don't get it, wheres the price drop exactly? you are basically giving us a discount on outgoing hardware. i doubt the conversion from 20 to 60 is costing you any more money. i mean come on, your basically pulling a Sony on us!
STEVENMPOO7 @ Jul 13th 2008 6:27AM
as SadisticHam stated this is "needless". I live in the states and i have never been that close to use the entire 20 GB HDD.
MS better bring motion sensor technology and some surprises, to keep 360 in top spot :D
Cameron Adams @ Jul 13th 2008 6:38AM
Your simply getting more for your money.

i've used 50GBGB of my 120GB harddrive :p
mosty on Video's i wanna keep - around 35GB used is Video.
mattclarkie @ Jul 13th 2008 7:31AM
20Gb runs out quickly if you have videos and demos on the drive.
Personally I think MS should drop the arcade, or keep the arcade spec with a 20GB HDD. No chrome, no component cable, no headset but a 20GB HDD.
Xyndra @ Jul 13th 2008 7:40AM
I wonder if the new 60gig models will have the same falcon board as the 20gig models.
I'd buy a 60gig if I could have less RROD incidents.
mattclarkie @ Jul 13th 2008 7:41AM
All 360s manufactured in 2008 should have the Falcon, and being a new SKU it should be Falcon, unless they are swapping the HDD on old stock they have lying around it should be 99% guaranteed to be Falcon.
ryan @ Jul 13th 2008 9:25AM
actually they'll have the new Jasper.
Xyndra @ Jul 13th 2008 9:16AM
My guess is that the August 60gig will have the Jasper board in it.
tan @ Jul 13th 2008 9:24AM
ahh
they really need to destroy the arcade!
just keep the 20gb, 60gb and 120
and make the elite less than a ps3 ?
in the uk (any maybe europe) i know the elite is around 80$ less than a ps3
the 20gb is about 200$ less!
and you dont even want to know how cheap the arcade is...
even less than a wii!
Gamertag: GOPAL892005 @ Jul 13th 2008 9:47AM
if Microsoft can make the Motion Control work as well as the Wii & have loads of games/developers on board with it [maybe get the most successfull 3rd party Wii games ported] - than the X360 really has a fighting chance.
i've played the Wii & i'm not too into the whole motion controled games & lack of precision - maybe its just that i'm a graphics whore :p i guess motion c. on the X360 could sort that out :)
Maverick Saturn @ Jul 13th 2008 9:23AM
How is this anything but good :)
joey @ Jul 13th 2008 11:02AM
I don't get it.
MS need the 299 price point.
but the 60 gb is going to replace the old price. ridiculous.
I predict they'll drop the price fo 60gb to 299 by holiday.
tan @ Jul 13th 2008 1:04PM
they need to drop the elites price.
because its way overpriced right now..
only in the states though
kvp @ Jul 14th 2008 1:10AM
any word on how much the 60 gig HDD will sell for alone? if itll be sold separately?
Dralthi @ Jul 14th 2008 1:02PM
I was wondering that myself. I hope they sell the 60GB HDD separately as well. I'd like to upgrade to that instead of the ridiculously overpriced 120GB HDD.
nikosokin @ Jul 13th 2008 5:57PM
Can anyone tell me...
Will the 60GB have built-in WiFi? I don't have a current-gen console yet, and don't have ethernet all over my house, and don't really want to buy the Elite because it's overpriced.
Will the 60GB have built-in WiFi?
cranium @ Jul 13th 2008 2:34PM
whoops, just sent this in as a tip. far too late. my mistake. anyway..
if microsoft is announcing this now they must have much more impressive news to unveil tomorrow
Dwag @ Jul 13th 2008 4:53PM
Built in Wi-Fi will screw everyone who bought a 360 early over bu it does make sense why introduce a 60Gb at the same price unless it has something special inside?
BSW1984 @ Jul 22nd 2008 6:25PM
Well tehy make these new 60GB HD with the halo 3 caseing? because I have the halo 3 special edition 360 and I would like to upgrade to a 60GB, but i dont want the normal silver casing. Anyone know??
DjDATZ @ Jul 31st 2008 8:26AM
Very, very, very highly unlikely.
bus33boy @ Jul 15th 2008 5:37AM
Ditto on the "I want to buy a 60Gig" comments.
I'm HOPING that MS is going to be reasonable with the price ($170 for 120 Gig? My shiny ass!) in an attempt to get them onto consoles. With Netflix, DLC, and more overall content, There's more crap for me to buy (= profits) and I won't buy it if I can't put it anywhere.
C'mon MS -- 60 gig at $60-75 will sell. You get people with more space, and we'll buy more crap. We're good for the buying crap part . . . just make it workable!
DjDATZ @ Jul 31st 2008 8:25AM
I'm really feelin' this price parody with American prices...after all, it's only right...
