If this article at Ars Technica is true, this September may be the ideal time to pick up an Xbox 360 console if you've been sitting on the sidelines up to this point. According to their source, the entire Xbox 360 lineup will see significant cuts. How significant? Feast your eyes on these prices:
Xbox 360 Arcade (No Hard Drive): $199
Xbox 360 Pro (60GB HDD): $299
Xbox 360 Elite (120GB HDD): $399
With the Arcade currently selling for $279, and the Pro and Elite models at $349 and $449 respectively, the cuts range from $50-$80 depending on the SKU. Ars notes that their source is the same one who told them about the Xbox 360 20GB price cut and the impending release of the 60GB console, so he or she has a solid track record.
With Microsoft's 65-nm Jasper console set to hit retail sometime this month, the price cuts would certainly become more feasible for Microsoft to afford, as the console will be cheaper for MSFT to produce.
