GameStop's Leaked Xbox 360 Price Drop Info

Just in case all of those retailer circulars from Best Buy, KMart, et al, wasn't enough proof of an Xbox 360 price drop coming on Sunday, here's one more tidbit of proof.
A GameStop employee has sent us cell pics of the internal announcement for the coming Xbox 360 Pro price drop announcement. They also included pics of the shelf art all of which will go on display on July 13, the day before E3 kicks off with Microsoft's press conference.
So, while still not official, it seem pretty clear that come Sunday you'll be able to pick up an Xbox 360 Pro (aka Premium) for a penny shy of $300.
If true, I can't help but think that this means that Microsoft wanted to clear the decks of pricing news to make room for something more interesting, or at least they want more attention on, come their press conference. Motion controls? Minority-Report-like interface? Who knows.

I believe it was around 399-499. I'm not completely positive. This price drop is pretty low, I wonder what was the reason for it. Maybe to win over cheaper consumers, but that's definitely a sale. I noticed that it included some items, too bad it's not a better package deal.

Btw, You have a source listed?

The source is below the qoute, and their source is a "GameStop employee"

and the price was 399.99 but dropped 50 bucks and now it is being dropped again

Good deal for anyone who doesn't have one already.

That is one huge drop.
Maybe to compete with the price drop the PS3 had like 3 months ago?

I don't see why the 360 is still so high after three years on the market either. The hardware manufacturing has reduced in price. They are not having a shortage of chips, and they are not using any breaking edge technology (compared to the PS3).

Without a Blu-Ray drive, and a with a Power PC processor, there is nothing top of the line technology wise in the 360.

Xbox has yet to say if they have had any loss in the xbox business, sony has said that they loss about 3 billion because of the ps3. Unlike sony, microsoft can make the haggle of lowering its prices steadidly to reach out to consumers, while for the ps3 they can not risk lowering their prices at all...

Yeah. The sad thing is I think my Xbox 360 is worth more than my computer at this point.

I'm guessing arcade would drop, but probably not by much.
