Microsoft ready to drop Xbox 360 prices at E3?

Written by Andre Yoskowitz @ 01 Jun 2011 12:51

Microsoft ready to drop Xbox 360 prices at E3? The latest rumors claim that Microsoft will drop the price of the Xbox 360 next week at the E3 event.
A sponsored ad from Target on the official E3 site shows an Xbox 360 250 GB Kinect bundle for $299.99, $100 lower than current retail price.

For now, however, if you click-through the ad you get led to a product page with the full $399.99 price so it could possibly be an error.

If the price drop does occur, it is reasonable to assume the rest of the line will see similar cuts, with many expecting the low-end 4GB Xbox 360 to hit $149.99.

Microsoft is also expected to launch an enhanced version of the Kinect motion control system.
