Rumorang: 360 Arcade dropping to $199 on Sept. 7

by Ludwig Kietzmann on Aug 4th 2008 2:20PM

Murmurings of another impending Xbox 360 price drop refuse to dissipate, with an alleged photograph of an unnamed retailer's inventory system, showing an early September price drop for the Arcade model, showing up on VGChartz. The screen seems to indicate a new $199.99 price for the unit -- as was rumored earlier this week -- becoming effective on September 7th, 2008.

With veracity and origin unclear, we'll leave you to debate the likelihood of this price drop. Of course, if you work at an electronics retailer, it wouldn't hurt to keep an eye out for fellow employees taking impromptu snapshots of their monitors.

i see new white elite (arcade $199 + harddrive 120gb $179 = $378) which is good for new buyer if pro(60gb)$349 & elite(120gb)$449 remain the same.

i like that math. isn't the elite coming down to $399 soon? there are other things to consider like controllers wired or wireless and charge kits.

that's true, i really forgot about those too after i posted it. lol

If this price drop is true, EB Games and Gamestop will have to lower the prices on all their used Xbox 360s, too. Ha Ha!

I'm just wondering when these people are going to update their computer.

the person that posted that worked at the newport oregon fred meyer. i kno i live there and one of the security guards told me. and ya he did get fired. and microsoft might pull inventory on all fred meyers if it doesnt get settled.
