Circuit City spills all the Xbox 360 price cut beans

And so we've come full circle. After accurately predicting that $100 PS3 price drop a few weeks back, Circuit City is back in the rumor game with a flyer that seems to confirm the $50 price cut for the Xbox 360, and even tosses in some info on price breaks for the Elite and Core systems. According to the flyer, on August 12th the 360 Premium will dip to $350, and include a copy of Rockstar's "Table Tennis," while the Elite will raid your wallet for $450 -- a $30 reduction -- and include zero free games. Finally, the Xbox 360 Core will get $20 lopped off, and sell for $280, which might be the end of the road for the stripped down console once stock runs out.

Honestly, although a lot of you are requesting the Core be $250, stop for a sec...

The Wii is $250, no DVD playback, no HD capability...so is another 30 bucks out of line for the extra features? really now?

PS, im not bashing on what the Wii doesnt have...i love mine, and use it just as much as my 360

I don't understand why anyone would buy a 360 or a PS3--you can get a used PS2 or Xbox for like $100 or less at Gamestop and they work just as well, there are more games, too. Duh. I have like a million xbox games.

I probably sound like your mom, since I was spending all last night with her...playing on my GAME CUBE!

That's a start, but not enough. If MS really wanted to make a splash, they'd put the Core system at $199 (or get rid of it entirely), the Premium at $299, and the Elite at $399.
