Xbox 360 price cut seen in the wild

article published on 27 June, 2008

A new, leaked KMart flyer shows that Microsoft is indeed set to drop the price of at least one model of its Xbox 360 console line at the upcoming E3 event. The ad, pictured below, shows the 20GB model selling for $300 USD, a $50 USD price cut from its current sale price. There was no indication of any rebate, or temporary discount so it appears this price will be the new asking price ... [ read the full article ]

Be honest now, the 360 remarks are half as bad as the ps3 remarks the mods have to tackle. Actually, I should say anything that has just the word Sony in it will trigger more hateful, negative, bias remarks.

And remember the mods did watch out for you with that poster that was personally attacking you.

They do a pretty good job, you have to admit that. :-)

Back to the topic, those 299.99 xbox360s better not be refurbs. Wouldn't that be misleading the consumer?

These opinions are not meant to start a stupid fanboy fight or any kind of fight for that matter.

yea nobrainer, remember this thread?

here's also a noted post from that same thread that should be highlighted as well.

nobrainer, I think you're being a tad bit paranoid there.....I'm all in favor of fighting the good fight for consumers but sometimes I feel you're a bit one-sided or even biased against certain brands.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OnerThat is an understatement. The continual misinformation that is spewed on a DAILY basis is simply amazing. For example:


Quote: (from Nobrainer)

Sony denies snafu over used PS3 games

We reported yesterday about a rumored message from Sony to retailers to warn them that selling used PS3 titles is "illegal." Sony has come out today and denied the rumor, telling GamesIndustry.biz "It's false speculation. We don't have any further knowledge about this topic - either officially or unofficially, to be frank."

Last November, a Sony patent was unearthed that would prevent PS3 games from working on more than one console -- that rumor was also denied.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Quote from Oner-So lets break it down a little to show the real info shall we....he tries to prove some sort of "point" about used PS3 games not working, but the article he grabs/quotes this misinformation is from 2005! and is NOT current nor truthful since used PS3 games do work ~ That is lie #1...so far in this thread alone, on to #2.

Warhawk. Lets again break down the absolute awful amount of misinformation and omitance of key facts.

Only that registered PSN account will be authenticated for gameplay

Oner
,"Do you see what he did there? Probably not as he left out the most important parts of the statement to twist the information into supporting his biased point"


Quote:(from nobrainer)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SCE will be utilizing an alternative Digital Rights Management (DRM) policy for the downloadable version of Warhawk. The downloadable version of Warhawk, which will be available from the PLAYSTATION Store on Thursday 30th August, will be directly tied to the registered PLAYSTATION Network (PSN) account that purchased the game. Only that registered PSN account will be authenticated for gameplay. You will still be able to download the game to up to five PS3 systems.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oner,"So here he tries to make it SEEM like it applies to ALL Sony PS3 games (somehow) but that is pure and blatant lies & more misinformation. Warhawk (the downloadable version) is playable/sharable on up to 5 different PS3's while the Blu Ray version is not affected by this in ANY way. Plus not to mention what about all the used PS3 games available at Gamestop and similar stores that totally goes against his mindset?

I could go on but my point is made and he will only try to twist my words and make it SEEM like I am picking on him in an attempt to get me in "trouble" with aD when all I am doing is making sure people get the REAL truth (that is what aD is for is it not) after the BS he spews in weak attempts to confuse people and spread more lies. So while he may beleive this is "personal" it is not. I am just doing my part in making sure the people who come to aD to make their own conclusions get the truth and FULL clear information needed/required without just snippets, conjecture or misinformed biased OPINIONS as their basis.

I have warned you before nobrainer about doing this and you just don't listen, learn or think the rules don't apply to you. But they do and will. Understand this, you can post all you want about DRM and everything else you so vehemently appose (which is good as I agree certain forms of DRM are just unnecessary & restrictive but I as many others have no problem bypassing it and moving on) but if you keep on posting blatant lies and misinformation that is nothing more than fanboy drivel your posts will continue to be dis proven, edited, removed or more....though I have not gone that far yet as it is unnecessary, since to properly clear things up & disprove your posts they are left intact to show people your faulted informational record history.



But that aside, on to the topic at hand. The DiVx deal probably has something to do in line with Sony's Bravia Internet Video Linked TV's and/or offering distributable content as part of their business model"

Read my sig.

Please don't use what I say to start a fight (fanboy or not). My comment about PS3 comments wasn't targeted at nobrainer.

For the record, I don't always agree with nobrainer, but I respect nobrainer's opinion.

So relax and enjoy the site! :-)

Yea, well its important for people to know what to expect from individuals with historical views and information that is misleading from time to time. It really conveys the credibility when reading posts from strongly opinionated and fanboyish users like nobrainer and his infatuation with Sony. I apologize if I crossed the line with that by the way. Your right dude, my bad.

Price drop confirmed and new 60GB Model confirmed.
IMO, The arcade needs to go and the 20GB needs to be 280 and the new 60GB should be 350.

I got bored:
