Are we sure they are going to drop the Xbox 360 price???? I don't think they need to, they already have a better price/product than PS3....

I need to know if I should wait a month and buy it or buy it now

I have heard rumors its dropping......

We clocked in at $503 for the $399 Xbox(comes with Harddrive,microphone and wireless controller) plus Saints row. Points are $6 per 500. Arcade Games average 400-800 points each. Add ons are 100 points, and pictures are 60 points.

For that plus $200 for the Wii, its still a better bargain than the Ps3.

I would go with the top end X360, it's just a better deal.
And I would also wait a bit until the Christmas season to see if the price gets lowered. There were reports that it would drop a bit.
There isn't many games that you must play right now anyway, so just wait...

There WILL be price drop the question is just when?
My guess is the launch date of PS3, the 360 drops their price.
I never trust the voice of a Microsoft Executive anyway.

I'll be getting the WII for sure...

More than likely the X360

I mean, even if you make good coin, 500+ dollar is a LOT to spend on a system... I don't care if it comes with BluRay.
They are outpricing themselves outta the market.
NeoGeo anyone?!?!?!

Apparently the ps3 went on presale yesterday.
The EB games nerd is all like- its better than the 360. And it has cool games.(yes, same ones I can play on the 360). And if you like Saints Row you will love this one.
Yes, First person shooter, the games I hate the most.

Yea... I read that on IGN a couple of days ago... the six axis feature is basically useless, and the new placement of the L2/R2 buttons dont feel right
Six Axis- half arsed Wii idea
L2/R2 placement- half arsed xbox 360 idea
Oh, and no rumble!

1.) Completely false, just another internet rumor
2.) Couldn't be helped due to Patent lawsuit, would have cost them $90 Million to include. And really, who cares, I can name on one hand the number of games that make good use of the feature.
3.) Good ol' Ken Kutaragi, he's nuts
4.) Also not true, first-party games will be roughly equivalent to 360 games in price.

As far as a 360 price drop, I expect we'll see a pack-in game before we see a price drop. Something like PGR 3.
