360  price drop spotted in RadioShack circular, will retail for $399 photo

A cheaper Xbox 360 is something that all of us would probably appreciate, most of all the people that don't own them yet (duh). The rumor was already floating around at the beginning of the month, but considering that the Internet is constantly buzzing with such "rumors" that usually turn out to be a fourteen-year-old behind his keyboard, we take them with a grain of salt.

Joystiq posted a RadioShack flyer that shows the discount of legend, advertising a $50 price drop by the week of Sept 7th. For those of you unable to subtract, that's a 60GB for $299, Arcade $199 and Elite $399. How's that for good news? Does $50 make the difference for you to go fishing into your savings account, or are you still unconvinced?

[Thanks, Joe]

@brainderailment I'm pretty sure people haven't been complaining about the price of PS3 for a while now. When the price was $600/$500 you heard those. Now complaints are mostly about lack of games.

Hot damn. This makes me glad I held onto my receipt for the 60 GB I bought early this month.

Where is the confirmation that the other systems get a price drop now that the pro has 60GB and HDMI the premium really only has a $50 advantage over the other one.

@ brainderailment

If you dont like your 360, then sell it to someone else.

If we could get one that works, I would love to pay $100 MORE.

I'm going for the 60 GB model once it drops. Hopefully because it's getting Jasper chips or whatever... I'm trying to get a system that will be as rrod-proof as possible.
