WalMart Confirms a $50 Xbox 360 Price Drop?

xsynergyx | July 28, 2007 | News | XBOX 360 
It is a small and blurry photo, but you can see the Xbox 360 price at $349 in a WalMart flyer. Could it be that hinted $50 price drop? You can always see the word "rollback" on the flyer. If this news turns out to be true, then that gives the Xbox 360 Premium a big $150 gap between the 60GB PS3.
It may be the smallest and blurriest photo of all time but it this image is to be believed then the much rumoured $50 360 price cut, which has been hinted at for a few weeks now, is just around the corner.

The image, the one you are straining, and most likely damaging your eyes for life to read, has emanated from neoGAF where it is commented the flyer on show is from the US retail chain WalMart and shows the 360 Premium unit will sell at the store for $349, which, in line with current rumourings, just happens to be $50 less than the current price. Also, over the price, although illegible in the image, the phrase 'rollback' is printed.

If this turns out to be true then it will put a $150 gap between a Premium 360 and a 60GB PS3.

    I was expecting a $100 price cut, but $50 is better than nothing. Huh...I wonder if Microsoft is going to be denying like Sony did when the Circuit City magazine was displayed...meh, either way, it's about time they drop it even by a little bit.

    That brings the Elite down to a sexy $429.99.

        As the article said, this will bring a $150 gap between the premium X360 and 60gb PS3. That is indeed huge.

          Wow big whoop, who cares its still high, just like the $20 price cut for the HDDVD Drive. which turn out to be $179 What they should do is lessen it to $150 not $50.

      Elite now $430, come on MS, just $30 more to bring it to $400, it's not that big of a loss.

    Still does nothing really if you have to buy the wireless adapter for it, stil an expensive console for what it is... Even more expensive if you ever want to take the leap to a next gen movie format.
