There is much speculation going around that Microsoft plans to announce a price cut in the 360...The price cut would lower the price of the Elite down to $400, the premium bundle to $300 and the Arcade bundle to $250...Which puts it below the price of the Wii...

So what do you think will it happen or not...If so it's just in time for me as i'm pickin 'up a new 360 this weekend...

^^ you mean not in time as they won't make the drop until a while.

If they put it to that, I'm so getting an Elite :)

I need to find an exact date though :p

There supposed to announce it at E3...In about 2 weeks...If it's only gunna take about a month or 2 for the drop...It might be worth waiting...

what is so great about the Elite? does it have more memory or something? Now all they need to do is give us free online gaming. I mean Bill Gates and Microsoft basically own the Internet, they don't need much more money

Yes but will the price cuts save anyone from sending away their systems for 3 months after it screws up?

Lol. I honestly think the Elite's package is only that the system is black, sorry to say. You get a Black controller, a Black headset, and a Black system. With a 120GB HDD, up from 20GB, and you also get the HDMI cable. Which if your going to buy a 360, and be a gamer, they dont even give you a wireless adapter which is another 100 bucks. So if you buy low version, then a 120GB HDD at like 120 bucks, then the wireless black controller(which you can get in blue etc) for 40 bucks, then the wireless adapter for 100 bucks, and an XBox 360 skin to make it whatever color you want for say, 30 bucks, thats $540 dollars, less then the Elite itself.

Also, the Elite, isnt that Elite, it is supposed to be a Limited Edition, that has been selling for if not over a year. So there isnt really anything THAT good about the Elite, which is why I bought my PS3...

Oh but on topic with the cheaper then a Wii. I think the Wii is Nintendo, and Nintendo is always cheaper. But them dropping the prices probably isnt really good. I know PS3 had to drop prices, but XBox dropping prices, they are trying to sell systems, which of course is the point. But not many people, or gamers, want the Arcade Xbox 360 anyway, it has a wireless controller, and no HDD, so like...its a 300 or so dollar XBox...yeah, exactly, which is why even if the 360 does drop below a Wii, I will still buy a Wii if I have 300 bucks laying around.
