While we all rejoice over the idea of a price drop, the rumor about the 360 getting one has been floating around for a while, yet the price has remained the same. This recent development may point to an actual development (or the guy who printed this circular being forcibly fired and possibly beaten): the ad you see in the gallery actually advertises the system for $299.99, its "new low price". Hmmm...
The ad was spotted by Kotaku on NeoGAF and appears real, although we have no way of being 100 percent sure until Microsoft makes an official announcement.
[Thanks, Brian]

who wins? I win.
that was sears...and yea, i'm also still surprised Kmarts are still around. (there's still one down the street from my house too.)
I also agree with DeadHead. When's the next PS3 pricedrop? Weren't they hoping GTA IV and MGS4 be big system sellers? I kinda thought MGS4 would be at least but not much has changed.
I hope they never get banned, though.
I have K-Mart to thank for getting Mass Effect 10 days early.
Looks like I might be finally getting a 360 of my own.
You know, this still doesn't really help me. See, with the amount of arcade games and additional content I'm likely to download, I will likely need the Elite. Besides, I'm still too poor to afford it anyway. When you have no income, a $50 price drop doesn't really make much difference.
Has anyone come up with a definitive way to upgrade the 360's hard drive without paying Microsoft 3x the price of a bare drive on NewEgg? Hell, a 320GB drive on NewEgg is only $130, and an 80GB is less than $60! If there is any guaranteed way to successfully upgrade an XB360 hard drive, that will go a l-o-n-g way to me getting this unit instead of waiting for a PS3.
i thought the same thing...
