Amazon Drops Xbox 360 Arcade Price Down To $179.96!

Post by Weekend_Warrior »



The price wars are officially starting! The rumors of the Xbox 360 Pro getting the ax and the Elite stepping in at the $299 price point must be true.

*EDIT* They have also dropped the price of the wireless controller down to $28.99 (from 49.99)!

Yes, the price wars have begun! Soon to be announced, but confirmed by retailers: A PS3 Slim/price drop. Now PS3 slim is same as 360 Elite.

Are the arcade units still shitty and capable of an easy red ring?

I wonder if they are cheap because they are old stock(and an older revision)?

Doubtful. Most Arcade 360's now have the Jasper chipset and are said to be "RROD free."

Jaspers have less of a chance of getting Red Ringed, but don't think it is impossible. It's already happened to three of my friends.
