It seems that what The Hollywood Reporter said a week ago is coming true...Xbox 360 is getting a $50 price cut (For the Pro model. It's $30 if you're an Elite fan or $20 if you're going for the Core) next week.

Wait a minute! Didn't we go through this whole rigmarole a few weeks ago with Sony's PS3 price cut? We sure did, but what makes this round different? A ton more evidence and leaked ads...

Wal-Mart:

Toys "R" Us:

Circuit City:

And the latest rumor from today comes from a leaked email sent to GameStop stores.



What are these marketing materials mentioned? Hmm, I bet it's either Halo 3 posters or 360 price cut signage. My guess is that it's the latter because they've been promoting the crap out of the former for what seems like a year now and probably don't need more promo material for it. Plus it seems in line with what's being reported all over the internet.

Why cut the 360's price tag? Well, there are some very good reasons for them to do so right now. First, PS3 just got a hefty price cut, and a price cut will help the 360 look even more attractive to consumers. Second, it's been out for dang near 2 years without a price cut. Seems like a long time to me. Three, um, isn't there something coming out next month? I forget.

In light of all this evidence and my own speculation, I rule...
TONY'S JUDGEMENT: Definitely happening

[angry]Speaking of rumors, Oblivion PSP might be cancelled as well. [/angry] I hope that one turns out to be false. I seen some screenshots of it and I was amazed at how good it looked and how true to the PC/360 version it was.
 
As long as they don't cancel the GOTY edition for the 360! I already traded in my old one in anticipation for the new one!

As far as the 360 getting price cut...it's been due for one.
