[QUOTE]
Microsoft today announced it is lowering the estimated retail price (ERP) for its Xbox 360 consoles in Singapore. At the new ERP of S$499 for the Pro version with 20GB hard drive (previously priced at $620), the Xbox 360 will give consumers more accessibility and opportunity to join the high octane world of interactive digital entertainment from Microsoft.

The prices of the Xbox 360 Arcade and Xbox 360 Elite will be lowered too. The Xbox 360 Arcade is now S$399 (previously $459) and the Xbox 360 Elite with 120 GB hard drive is now $699 (previously $799).
[/QUOTE]

Hopefully a sign of things to come for the US. Probably not, but one can always hope.

There will almost certainly be some form of price drop in the U.S. in the next couple of months before the MGS4 bundle comes out for the PS3.

That makes the arcade about $310 Australian - it still sells for $399 here.
Waiting for a price drop to buy my last 360.

Hey MS how about lowering the hardware and game prices in Australia to more reflect the US price with which we are close to parity with on the current exchange rate. People here are already importing games from overseas and getting them a lot cheaper.
