That's their own deal, not an official price-cut.

I don't see why this is being done, I've never come close to running out of room and I have a 20gig.

..Although perhaps that's because I'm from the UK it might be different for America..but this seems a bit needless to me.

For you knuckleheads that say this is "needless"... just because YOU don't have a need for it doesn't mean the rest of us don't. All those map packs, arcade downloads, movies, TV shows, etc. add up fast. Apparently you people never download a thing.

Arcade and dlc don't add up that fast unless you have a big collection of games. Outside of America the movie/music/tv show collections are pathetic, there's barely anything.

i don't get it, wheres the price drop exactly? you are basically giving us a discount on outgoing hardware. i doubt the conversion from 20 to 60 is costing you any more money. i mean come on, your basically pulling a Sony on us!

as SadisticHam stated this is "needless". I live in the states and i have never been that close to use the entire 20 GB HDD.

MS better bring motion sensor technology and some surprises, to keep 360 in top spot :D

20Gb runs out quickly if you have videos and demos on the drive.

Personally I think MS should drop the arcade, or keep the arcade spec with a 20GB HDD. No chrome, no component cable, no headset but a 20GB HDD.

I wonder if the new 60gig models will have the same falcon board as the 20gig models.

I'd buy a 60gig if I could have less RROD incidents.

All 360s manufactured in 2008 should have the Falcon, and being a new SKU it should be Falcon, unless they are swapping the HDD on old stock they have lying around it should be 99% guaranteed to be Falcon.

My guess is that the August 60gig will have the Jasper board in it.

ahh
they really need to destroy the arcade!

just keep the 20gb, 60gb and 120

and make the elite less than a ps3 ?

in the uk (any maybe europe) i know the elite is around 80$ less than a ps3

the 20gb is about 200$ less!


and you dont even want to know how cheap the arcade is...

even less than a wii!

if Microsoft can make the Motion Control work as well as the Wii & have loads of games/developers on board with it [maybe get the most successfull 3rd party Wii games ported] - than the X360 really has a fighting chance.

i've played the Wii & i'm not too into the whole motion controled games & lack of precision - maybe its just that i'm a graphics whore :p i guess motion c. on the X360 could sort that out :)

I don't get it.

MS need the 299 price point.
but the 60 gb is going to replace the old price. ridiculous.

I predict they'll drop the price fo 60gb to 299 by holiday.

I was wondering that myself. I hope they sell the 60GB HDD separately as well. I'd like to upgrade to that instead of the ridiculously overpriced 120GB HDD.

Can anyone tell me...

Will the 60GB have built-in WiFi? I don't have a current-gen console yet, and don't have ethernet all over my house, and don't really want to buy the Elite because it's overpriced.

Will the 60GB have built-in WiFi?

Built in Wi-Fi will screw everyone who bought a 360 early over bu it does make sense why introduce a 60Gb at the same price unless it has something special inside?

Ditto on the "I want to buy a 60Gig" comments.

I'm HOPING that MS is going to be reasonable with the price ($170 for 120 Gig? My shiny ass!) in an attempt to get them onto consoles. With Netflix, DLC, and more overall content, There's more crap for me to buy (= profits) and I won't buy it if I can't put it anywhere.

C'mon MS -- 60 gig at $60-75 will sell. You get people with more space, and we'll buy more crap. We're good for the buying crap part . . . just make it workable!
