That’s right folks. According to the Hollywood Reporter (and to the dismay of those who bought theirs at the original launch price) consumers could be seeing a $50 price cut for the 20GB Xbox 360 model within the coming weeks. This latest slash in price will bring this particular bundle to the new low price of……$299. Yeah.
Most notably, this move comes slightly short of this years E3 which takes place July 15-17 in Los Angeles, California. Strategic much? Apparently, the source of this claim was from a sneaky “major retailer” who wished to remain anonymous. Now, I’m not sure how reliable the Hollywood Reporter is, but according to the fabulous individuals over at Kotaku, they are a source to be trusted.
What does this mean for Microsoft? It could either mean a lot or it could mean nothing at all. To be honest, with another price cut I’m sure those who were on the fence about buying a 360 may finally fall on to greener pastures. That is, they will finally invest in…well…a great investment.
I personally love my 360. Other than my computer (and my fiance of course), my 360 is my BFFFFF. I wouldn’t know what to do without it. I’d probably actually have, you know, a real life.

That’s a good deal. I have a question if anyone can help me. Recently MS made it easy to transfer all your Xbox live content to another 360. What if I buy the 120 HDD and wanna transfer my content to the new HDD? Can that be done too?
