Xbox 360 Price Cut Official

By
Straight from Major Nelson comes confirmation of another of the worst kept secrets ever. The Xbox 360 will receive a price drop in the U.S. starting September 5th.

Xbox 360 Arcade $199
Xbox 360 $299
Xbox 360 Elite $399

As you can see the Arcade SKU is now cheaper than the Wii, and the Elite now costs the amount that I payed for my Pro console at launch.

A few days later, today, I read a reply to the article on GamerscoreBlog and it really started me thinking on the future of our industry as it grows to new heights. The article basically covers the transition of gaming from a hardcore, almost underground media to mainstream casually oriented markets and the effect is is having on the hardcore gamers. Here is one of the quotes that caught my eye: "Call it nerd rage. Like loyalists of a once-partisan politician who tacks toward the center later in an election cycle, old-school gamers are coming to terms with the ramifications of their favorite’s newfound popularity.
