More rumors, more price drops

Microsoft’s XBox 360 may also be very well in for a price cut. TheBitBag.com recently released a rumor indicating that the 360 Premium may be in for a $50 price drop to coincide with the release of GTAIV. They claim “some unnamed person has tipped that Microsoft will be dropping the price of the Premium 360 another $49 on the same day that GTAIV gets released”.

No doubt that Microsoft has been looking to further distance itself price-wise from the PS3, ever since the 40GB and 80GB PS3s brought it within $50 of their 360’s competitors. This would not only further distance itself from the PS3, but also bring it into range to compete with the Nintendo Wii, especially if the the other 2 models followed similar price cuts. With exclusive content on the 360 and a price drop, Microsoft is making it a no brainer as to which console you should get if you want the most out of GTAIV.
