$50 Price Drop Coming

Advance scans of WalMart and Toys R Us have both confirmed that there is a $50 price drop coming for the XBox 360 Pro console. The new price points will be $279 Core, $349 Pro and I don't remember what they're dropping the Elite to, but it wasn't much. Having worked with advertising before, I can tell you that normal lead time for ad prints like this is 6 weeks, so that puts us right into the Halo3 launch when this is announced/official.

The Core needs to drop to $250 or they are still getting hammered by Nintendo.

Also, for God's sake what is TAKING so long with the Falcon? Get it out already...

update - it looks like the ads were for aug 12 according to some other blogs i read.  i have to agree with ekattan about not spending another dime until they fix the damn thing, tho.  spending on $350 on a game console that is going to spend about 6 weeks a year in rehab is still a little silly.

That drop is just worthless to me knowing that it's still the same defective unit. I would never imagine myself considering the option of buying two consoles because of how defective they are. When they fix the heat sink or change the processor you will see a huge rise in sales but this won't help as much as they expect it to.
