According to a image from a Meijer's catalog obtained by Kotaku, it looks like the Xbox 360 Elite models will be receiving a price cut on or around August 30.
The catalog claims that the 120GB Xbox 360 Elite console will have a new, lower price -- $299.99. That's $100 less than the current MSRP of the 120GB Elite, and the current price of the 60GB Pro model. This lends credence to earlier rumors that the Pro is being yanked from retail, leaving only the Elite and Arcade models standing. No word on the Arcade -- which retails at $199.99 -- could see a price cut as well, but that would be ridiculous.
Of course, until Microsoft confirms the cut, this is still a rumor. However, it's looking more and more likely, so there's little doubt we'll get the official word soon.

But it is anyway good for the consumers!
But, on Kotaku, they said that a Meijer rep stated it was only for a week-long sale, NOT a permanent price drop.
And inb4 "It should, the 360 is so damn cheap it's worth it!"
just me and my Elite
Elite's don't red-ring, they E74. Get your 360 errors, straight, boy!
But seriously, this is a fucking deal.
Can't wait to see the people complaining about this(?).......
Your:
"Elite's don't red-ring, they E74. Get your 360 errors, straight, boy!"
Isn't accurate. I have had 2 Elite's Red Ring on me and I have pictures to prove it.
Back on topic:
I am definitely going to pick up another Elite when this price drop happens.
299 PS3 with BluRay, WiFi and free online versus HD bump?
Yeh, not so much.
If I somehow could justify it.
Still need more than 13 lousy GB tho :\
DAMN YOOOUUUUU!
Totally.
<.< ...Yeah >.>
Think of it like drugs... you put something in someones hands, say heroin... you let them have a taste for cheap... then once they are hooked and need more of it, you jack the prices up and watch them squirm until they end up breaking the law to afford your product. And then you laugh your way to the bank...
120 gig HDs for 360 are going to be too small in the near future with all this content being digitally offered up.
Pretty soon bandwith and space will be the new capital.
