The current record holder for worst-kept secret in the gaming news world is now official. Microsoft has announced that the Xbox 360 will be receiving price cuts across all three SKUs that were heavily rumored and leaked via several retail flyers last week.
Beginning tomorrow on August 8th, the pricing for 360 units will match the prices from the Circuit City ad floating around the net last week:
- Xbox 360 Elite: $449.99 ($30 drop)
- Xbox 360 Premium: $349.99 ($50 drop)
- Xbox 360 Core: $279.99 ($20 drop)
Microsoft is making a big deal of the fact that this drop coincides with next week’s release of Madden NFL 08. The Xbox 360 was already the system that can play "truly" next-gen Madden for the least money, but now it’s even more so -- and at a full 60 frames per second.
