A $50 price cut has been rumored for weeks now but it looks like the crew
at Kotaku have some pretty compelling evidence that the price reduction will
become a reality on Sunday. Word is: "A GameStop employee has sent us cell pics of
the internal announcement for the coming
Xbox 360 Pro price drop announcement. They also
included pics of the shelf art all of which will go on
display on July 13, the day before E3 kicks off with
Microsoft's press conference. So, while still not official, it seem pretty clear
that come Sunday you'll be able to pick up an
Xbox 360 Pro (aka Premium) for a penny shy of $300. If true, I can't help but think that this means that
Microsoft wanted to clear the decks of pricing news to
make room for something more interesting, or at least
they want more attention on, come their press
conference.
Motion controls?
Minority-Report-like interface? Who knows".
