We're just seeing the 60GB Xbox 360s on sale now and already there's word of a price drop for it as well as the Arcade and Elite Xbox 360s. Ars Technica received word from a mole (who looked like the Joker) that all versions of the Xbox 360 will see price drops sometime in September. The harddriveless Arcade will go down to $199, the 120GB Elites will go down to $399 and the brand new 60GB Xbox 360s will drop down to $299, which is the current price for the dead 20GB Xbox 360s.
Ars also reveals that the upcoming Platinum Hits version of Forza 2 will include all of the DLC tracks and that there will be game bundled Xbox 360s for the holiday season.
You would think these kinds of announcements would have been made during E3 now, wouldn't you? It’s also very odd that the 60GB would drop down in price so soon. If you’ve been wanting to pick up the 60GB, I suggest you hang on to the receipt and buy from a big name store like Best Buy or Costco. That way, you can at least get credited back the difference if the price drop really happens next month.

I still want them to lower the HDD price even further, i'm in need of a 60gb.
heh its not really an interesting story its just complicated (it involves a lot of family members and friends and you'd have to know me and everyone etc., etc..)
Not really. The new/cheaper Jasper chipset is supposed to be hitting about the same time as these price cuts. Current 60GB 360s are the Falcon chipset.
Thats still very odd. MS is going to release a new model THEN a month later release it again with a better chipset. Why?
