  that oft-rumored new $349 price point for the Xbox 360 Premium. The EXIF data checks out, so if it is a prank at least they took the time to do it right. No better way to figure out the legitimacy of this one than to wait it out -- and start betting on sales boost figures if Microsoft does indeed cut the price.[Thanks, Brad] Permalink

  been hearing about a $50 price cut on the horizon for some time, so I would classify this image and rumor as “probable”. From what I can tell, the image has not been altered in any way. It’s simply just an out of focus picture. ---Related Articles at Gaming Today:Toys "R" Us To Drop Xbox 360 PriceXbox 360 Price

  should add some juice to the price cut rumors. The boys at CheapAssGamer (who snagged the original ad) have gotten their hands on more evidence that the $50 Xbox 360 price cut is indeed coming. Of course, this could be Photoshopped too, but who's really going to all the trouble of doctoring two separate ads to depict this price drop? [Via

• Xbox 360 on Amazon.com for $329

  On top of the $50 dollar price cut by Microsoft, Amazon is taking even more off the top to a lovely $329. It is likely that Amazon is attempting to sell off their remaining “old” premium stock that does NOT have HDMI. But it is still definitely a good deal - one which I would be biting at if I did not already have a 360.

  cuts… price cuts… price cuts. It seems like the most popular topic this year has been console price cuts. Something I like to call the console-limbo dance. It’s been well over a month since Microsoft has dropped the price down a notch on the 360 here in the US. I guess since the EU hasn’t been slapping MS with any
