The across-the-board Xbox 360 price cuts rumoured since last month just got official from Microsoft. The standard and Elite get a solid US$50 drop, while the Arcade plummets a whole US$80, making the 360 officially cheaper than a Wii. The new pricing scheme is:


• Xbox 360 Arcade – US$199
• Xbox 360 – US$299
• Xbox 360 Elite – US$399

Still, Elite all the way, baby. [Kotaku]

    Microsoft Japan is already actually paying people to take the machines, with little success. “We hope more people will be able to enjoy Xbox 360,” said marketing marketer Takashi Sensui, “and we can stop enjoying quite so many of them. We also have this fine pile of HD-DVD drives … Wait! Come back!” http://notnews.today.com/?p=63
