A few of our retail contacts, some of whom have given us good intel in the past -- and who all work for separate corporations -- have sent us identical information regarding a price drop. Evidence of the Elite and Arcade price cut can be found in the gallery below featuring images sent us from the Sept. 7 Radio Shack flyer.

$299 is tempting (if) they throw in a few games (and new ones!). I'm probably still holding out for a PS3 though. But ya, those are going to sell like crazy this holiday season.

Nobody includes new games anymore unless its a special edition version (i.e. the Halo 2 Xbox, MGS4 PS3, etc). But at $199 you can pick up a used HD for around $50, and then throw in another controller for $50.

I need to get back into console gaming I think... how much sexier is the xb360 on 1080p than a 720p set?

price cuts now official, from arcade at 199 to Pro at 299 to Elite at 399.

The difference wouldn't be noticeable... at least I can't tell a difference at all on my TV.
