GameStop memo details Xbox 360 price drop

Thanks to an anonymous GameStop manager we now have an internal corporate memo detailing the Xbox 360 Pro's price drop to $299 for this Sunday. We're currently trying to get a better resolution scan, but the whole shebang is detailed in black and white on the page.

We now wait for Microsoft to acknowledge the price drop, which has gone from leaks to full blown flood of retail flyer confirmation.

[Thanks again to everyone helping; special thanks to our Anonymous source.]

Guys, I hear the 360 Pro is going down to $299!

Peter, hooows it goin?

Yeeeeah, you see, the 360 is going to be sold for 299 dollars now. So, it could be great if you could just know that now. Did you get....that memo? I'll make sure you get a copy.

THaaaanks peter.

Anyone else hear that there may be a 360 price drop?

Please tell me that your tipster sent you the scan with the Joystiq watermark already embedded.

I just want to know about the new model and it's price (or if there will be a drop on the Elite). I would really like to upgrade to one with a larger hard drive and HDMI outs, but am waiting to see how all this shakes out.

I wonder if the 360 will get a price drop this year.

This year? Pfff! Not bloody well likely.

Ok we got it, the 360 is getting a price drop. It's not that big of a deal to warrant 15 articles about it.

What!? Where did you get this secret information?

only ps3 firmware 2.40 does

This is a photoshop, there is no way the 360 is getting a price drop.

I'm kind of thinking... there might be a price drop on the Xbox 360...

But due to the sheer demand for games they are increasing the price by $5 to compensate for the lost revenue from consoles.

These kinds of "anonymous sources" are just lame. They deserve to have their names mentioned along with the information they release. It's only fair if they want to break the street dates that they take responsibility for it.

And what if their name is Anonymous Source? I think I'll name my firstborn such....

In other news, in UK 360 still costs £250 cock-sucking pounds.

ok MS I think I am going to bite (especially since Target has the $25 gift card)

I hope your sh!t can hold up for more than 7 months this time!!!

Pojo, didn't you say a month ago or so that you were getting one?

Sure Pojo, sure. Send me a friend request cuz I dont believe it. :P

This seems like a lot of rumor and speculation. This clearly won't be happening.

Man, if only the 360 would drop to $299. What are the chances of that ever happening. Anybody heard any rumors? I really want to know.

Never gonna happen. Stop spreading crazy talk.

Never... though I did hear a rumor that $299.99 is a possibility.

Thats just crazy talk you guys!

Duke,

Congrats on beating MG. Damn that game is Epic aint it? Now if only there were trophies on it so I can have one more excuse to beat it. I've beaten it twice already. Gonna wait and see.

Yeah, I really enjoyed the game a lot. Kinda left me wondering what to play afterwards.

Enough with the LIES! Won't anyone think of the children? Do not give them false hope.

Ok. Now I'm certain there's going to be a 60GB 360. This, the K-Mart ad and the Target ad specifically mention a specific type of Xbox 360. Hard drive sizes and SKU numbers aren't needed unless there's going to be some other kind of "360 Pro".

You sir, got trolled..hard.

You lie. Microsoft will never drop the 360's price.

They better drop the price here in Canada as well!

You know, I was conjuring up fireballs on a mountain top, and these weary knights asked me if I could help them. They asked if I knew where they could find a 360 price drop. It made me think that we might be due for one... It made me think.

So they are seriously planning on selling 3 SKUS at the same time?

If they do drop the price I will be pissed if they compensate the people who bought it within the last 30-60 days with a rebate or points or something because i can still return it for a refund and get another at the reduced price! any thoughts?

lol ppl that price drop is for real.. i was at a gamestop last week and it had the xbox 360 pro at $349.99 "WITH" a $50 gamestop card. so that means they been trying to sale the thing for last 2 weeks.. MS is going to drop the price. now im getting mine this sunday. If you don't have one get one you have much fun playing online specially with halo 3 and GTA4.

The memo is real. I've seen it with my own eyes.
