Analysts: 360 Price Cut Should Take It Ahead Of PS3 In July Posted by XanTium | July 22 23:12 EST | News Category: Xbox360

From gamasutra.com: [QUOTE] For hardware, we do expect the Xbox 360 to outsell the Playstation 3 in July; obviously, this can be attributed to the recent Xbox 360 price cut. In the past, analysts have typically expected sales lifts in the 20-30% range after a hardware price cut; however, we should expect a different trend, as we will likely see more sales front-loaded into July and August as consumers rush to purchase the $299 version before supplies run dry. While Microsoft and Sony continue to compete in the "who has the biggest hard-drive" contest, we expect Nintendo to continue to win the real contest - selling the most systems.

Probably not, I mean a Wii is much cheaper but I won't buy one. Also if I were to buy an xbox360 I would buy the Elite as in 'the most expensive one'. I mean its just cool to have something expensive, or the top of the line product right? Its even better to get the top of the line product for cheap like say a brand new elite on sale for 100 bucks cheaper...but I don't know anyone who'd go near an arcade pack, I mean they're just plain shite...

they lowered the 20gb model to $300 which is only $20 more then the arcade and $50 more then the wii.

That's funny. I thought all this time the "real contest" was to see who could sell the most GAMES, not SYSTEMS.

Just becausce something costs more doesn't mean it will better....

I had an xbox 360 so called 'premium model' and got the red lights of death shortly after buying it was as they say a shitty shoddy built console. So I bought a xbox 360 arcade pack according to you is 'plain shite' and this arcade version is far superior it has hdmi a falcon mobo extra heatsink 65nm cpu i.e same spec as an elite just white in color and no 120gb hard drive runs really quiet and cool and only cost me £149 and that was 6 months ago when prices were still high. I chucked a 20gb hard drive on it the whole thing cost me a fraction of an elite back then they were £300+

gonna throw a 120gb hard drive on it when the new fall update is out aswell, I like having a plain white 360 the black version looks like an xbox 1ish to me and the premium has the horrible silver tray my 360 has a more all white ipod look good shit...

atm you can buy a brand new arcade xbox 360 (wit hdmi falcon etc) for £99 if you shop around. More than worth the money!
