When do you think 360 will drop?

[DroppedUrPocket]

The company keeps saying that it will not be dropping for a while.

yea, i'm sure once the other companies get their consoles out they will have to

[Aladdin]

It took the PS2 two years to drop, it took the XBOX six months. And notice, the PS2 and XBOX dropped $100 at the same time.

[TheByrus]

the 360 will probably drop when halo 3 comes out.

sometime next summer.

My guess is that the PS3 won't drop in price until maybe Holiday Season 2008. Even if it does, it won't be by too much. Sony is already losing money with each console they sell.
360 will drop to maybe $249 Holiday Season 2007.

The core system.. yes. But the premium is will probably be $349... and who knows if they actually come out with one with an HDMI port and a hd-dvd player built it...

most of the price drops in recent years have been announced and implemented during E3
