Even more retailer proof of a 360 price cut in Sept

As if we haven't already been smacked in the face with enough proof that there's going to be an Xbox 360 price cut coming this September, we just came across even more retailer proof that on September 7th, $199 Xbox 360 Arcades will be the norm. Xbox-Scene posted the picture proof you see above that comes from another retailer's inventory database and what more can be said? $199 Arcade consoles equals very good times!

Now, we're nearly certain some sort of Xbox 360 pricing shake up will be happening in September, but we're beginning to wonder what role the Pro and Elite consoles have in it. All the retailer leaks have been surrounding a $199 Arcade console as we have yet to see any Pro or Elite price drop proof. It's all interesting price cut stuff that gets all the more interesting as the days go by.

Proof: $199 360 Arcade and a price cut on Sept 7th

Adding proof to Ars Technia's report that sometime this September Microsoft will be price cutting all Xbox 360 SKUs, the VGChartz.com crew posted their own insider price cut evidence. VGChartz.com was sent the image above which was taken from a retailer's computer data base showing that, come this September 7th, a $199 Xbox 360 Arcade price point will be in full effect. Delicious!

So, more proof that the first week of September we'll be treated to $199 Arcades, $299 Pros and $399 Elites or just a mean hoax? We say there's a good price cutting chance, but we'll have to practice our patience skills for one more month.

Proof: $199 360 Arcade and a price cut on Sept 7th - Xbox 360 Fanboy

Damn, these prices are really coming down from when it first came out. This would be such a steal for people who don't have 360's yet and want them .. especially the Arcade one.

ssp0929 · 08-05-2008, 05:03 PM

Yeah, thats pretty cheap.

X3E Gravity Flux · 08-06-2008, 10:25 AM

Too bad the prices weren't like this for every time I bought a replacement console when one broke.

ssp0929 · 08-06-2008, 01:44 PM

Yeah, you could have just bought like 4 Arcade Consoles and had been done with it.

You know what, I'm having terrible luck with the Xbox 360.

I got an Xbox 360 Arcade unit almost two months ago. Then Microsoft lowered the price of the 20GB model to $300 (sort of). I decided to buy a 20GB hard-drive (I have a logical reason to buying a hard-drive and 360 separately) and now there is a 60GB hard-drive available. Now the Arcade could lower to $200.

ssp0929 · 08-06-2008, 04:43 PM

Rofl. If all else fails, try eBay.

Ah, thats terrible to hear, if your lucky you can sell everything on ebay if these rumors are true and get the arcade or pro.

ssp0929 · 08-07-2008, 01:43 PM

Or the Elite.

thats the whole point. they're fooling people into thinking, wow thats cheap. when it really doesnt affect alot people, because alot of people have a 360 already. and the amount of people planning on getting an xbox 360 isnt really as high as it was a few years ago.

I know that's the point, lol. I'm just saying the consoles have gotten very cheap. Well it is cheap, they're really not fooling anyone. It's just giving the people without a 360 a great chance to get one.

ssp0929 · 08-08-2008, 09:18 AM

Yeah, $200 Arcade Package contrary to a $300 Premium Package.

TheFamilyGuy · 08-10-2008, 04:34 PM

$199 is pretty cheap. But at this point its necessary. PS3 is really benefiting from its Blu-Ray functionalities.

ssp0929 · 08-10-2008, 05:44 PM

Well, it's not like losing money will actually hurt M$. They probably have trillions stored away in their underground vault.

You could say that, but i guess you can also say that not everyone has an HDTV.
