::seconds 360 price drop hopes::

Really hoping to see $299/$389 for Premium/Elite respectively. I think MS has held it off for as long as possible, but with the Wii outselling everything (minus the DS) by a mile and the PS3 pricedrop, people expect the price drop to make the 360 look competitive in the console race.

Word on the grapevine was that the Elite is getting a permanent replacement with the same package only white. The black Elite being a limited product will stop being shipped out.

One explanation for that pic with the 2 whites with the HDDs would be that and they are phasing out the Core box and the Silver is something totally new. Either that or the "new" Elite is actually silver, not white, and they just plopped an HDD in the display core for whatever reason.

I guess we'll get to find out tonight.

what time, and can you watch the press conference on the internet or on tV?

Im getting a new 360 next year, either way, when all is set and done, it will be black. I don't care if I have to get it custom painted.

That "gray" xbox 360 is reported to be an elite (black) with a spotlight on it. Two whites surrounded by elites.

Sean · 07-10-2007, 08:47 PM

That is definitely *not* black with a spotlight on it. It's pretty clearly a gray/silver shade - lights shined on the elite's black do not make it look anything like that.

It's the Xbox Just Above Average.

rofl. It's probably the elite, but in silver.

Unrelated note, anyone alive in other games? I'm in there right now waiting to watch the broadcast on IGN.

The CGI:IRC client requires that I add channels to it's access list. I'll add this one now. Also, use http://irc.uberguilds.com

It's fullscreen.
