Do you shave? It's the same thing as razors. They give away the actual razor, but the price of a pack of blades is like, insane. Same thing here, they make next to nothing (and in most cases, take a loss) on the actual console, but they make a fortune in licensing fees, game sales, and accessories.]]>Aug 4th 2008 11:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/03/xbox-360-arcade-dropping-to-199-on-september-7/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/03/xbox-360-arcade-dropping-to-199-on-september-7/Aug 3rd 2008 7:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/03/xbox-360-arcade-dropping-to-199-on-september-7/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/03/xbox-360-arcade-dropping-to-199-on-september-7/Aug 3rd 2008 7:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/03/xbox-360-arcade-dropping-to-199-on-september-7/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/03/xbox-360-arcade-dropping-to-199-on-september-7/

That $200 price point is a nice place to be at .... especially for casual gamers such as myself. As travis.Taylor mentioned, love the PS3 as much as the next guy but their gaming library, not to mention their slow progress of games coming out and $400 price make it still a bit out of my hands for the time being.
