The tips line is broken this week because everyone is dead, drunk, or in california, losing their ability to deal with reality.
Try your tips again next week.
David and Jim are in London trying on Monocles too. Clogs ftw :D
cheese n rice. Nex, I'm not a 12 yr old kid spewing off. My buddy works as a buyer for a major Canadian department store at a national level, this is legit. (I friggin hope, or I'm gonna look retarded).
How can your tips email be broke BTW?
Please digg this
yea... didnt I hear this one before for the e3 conference that M$ was going to drop all systems $50-100 off and Moore came out saying, "wtf said that?"
So mention your credible sources, otherwise its another fake comment.
sorry, wish I could.
No details, no links, no real info., I don't care. Microsoft will not drop the price of their system after having a major product warranty $$$ loss, while knowing they will sell shit-tons of units because of Halo. 65nm + Q1 '08 = pricedrop.
yeah, i just read on another site that Sony was discontinuing the 60GB model after they are gone, so it will be back to one SKU at $599, HUGE fucking mistake on Sony's behalf i think.
I guess M$ didn't know about this. They said that they didn't need to drop price as a reaction to Sony dropping the PS3 price. But it looks like Sony isn't really dropping price, they are just upgrading the thing. I guess M$ was just planning on doing this anyways. Hell, if you can get a 360 for cheaper than a Wii, that is just crazy.
i doubt august first, maybe january first.
Your information must be very off considering no one important in sony even commented on this> http://www.joystiq.com/2007/07/13/sony-says-60gb-is-not-over-in-us/
I hope it's not true, because I'm trying to dump my premium on Craigslist for $300, it would suck if I had to lower it to $200.
Shit got dugg. I hope I don't have to go into hiding a couple weeks from now ;(
Yeah how has only one person mentioned so far that the 60gb PS3 isn't being killed off by Sony (well, yet at least) and they shot down that rumor.So A) there goes that. B) I agree with the fact that MS just ate it hard with having to boost the warranty for failure rates, so I'd be suprised to see them drop prices when they already just lost so much money. And also, you don't think somehow this would have gotten out through someone working in/affiliated with Microsoft first if it's true? Not just 'a major canadian retailler', how would said [note:random] retailer be privy to such information.
Mythbusted?
pz.
Nice post Zero.
$200 for a core system?
Visions of modded Halos are dancing through my head right now.

Don't be so full of yourself
Oops- first quote was supposed to be "Please Digg This"... not sure how I got the wrong thing
Ok? I didn't invent Jesus, I got some information from my friend who knows things. Could be bullshit, chances are it is legit.
I have nothing to gain from this, just thought it was relevant to the current price/SKU fiasco going on in the Sony camp.
I've frequented Dtoid for the better part of a year without drama, and while I don't particularly like Sony, I DO like what Microsoft is doing and have been an XBL subscriber since day one and will voice my opinion when a company deserves props or fucks up.
Don't shoot the messenger.
Having worked videogame retail, it is pretty legit to hear news from the buyers. This is why retailers will often accidentally leak information before the manufacturers if tight reigns are not put on their head office staff.
Well, once you purchase the HD-DVD add-on for the XBOX, well... damn yeah that's still a good deal! Sorry Sony.
What a load of bull.I hate it when people go fanboy crazy over a damn rumor AND when it gets Dugg. 60 gig PS3 is $499 and XBox is still $399. Price drop rumor is a load of crap and has been denied by Kim at MS: http://www.qj.net/E3-Microsoft-s-Shane-Kim-on-dropping-the-Xbox-360-s-price/pg/49/aid/97425
thread locked for no reason by bish the NeoGAF nazi. Confirmed.
Did someone really post a Joystiq link? <shakes head>
Damn, if this is true, I'll sell my premium for an Elite. That black is sexy. It could be true. Like everyone said, it would be a big shock considering they just extended the warranty so they will lose a ton of money on that, and plus PS3 is still $100 more than 360 Premium. Do I believe it? No, but it wouldn't surprise me in the least bit.
oh wow. this could be huge
joystiqs hardly any less credible then destructoid, destructoid still puts the M$ slant but at least they are funny!
I shouldn't have dugg this. Everyone knew a price drop was coming this year anyhow I guess.
Thanks Electro for the benefit of the doubt. I don't think I have to prove anything at the risk of getting a family man in trouble with his employer. If his info doesn't pan out then I'm a tool on the internet, if I am right, everyone will be too busy playing Bioshock on their new 360 to care.
so then xbox will never make any money .. nice biz plan .. oh well windows sucks and its still the dominant OS so i dont see why it would not happen in gaming ;)
All 60GB PS3's are completely gone at every b&m and e-shop here that I've checked. Sony is definitely $659CAN/$599US again.
I have 100% confidence in my source. But like Ron, he drinks. We'll see what happens, you birthday is after August 1st anyhow...
Good work Zero, I hope you're right.
Good work Zero, I hope you're right.
Ron: Since our canuck dollar has been strong ($0.95), $100CAN would put our pricing in line with US pricing, we were getting screwed on an exchange rate that has been closing the 20% gap for the last 2 years of the 360's life cycle. The DS Lite recently dropped in price here to reflect that even though there was no US drop, Comprende? lol
