According to our good, dear, beautiful friends at Joystiq (and Radio Shack, incidentally) the Xbox 360 family is going to be seeing those rumored price cuts in the very near future. Falling right in line with that chatter we heard at the beginning of the month, a leaked Radio Shack circular seems to indicate that there will be reductions across the board for the console, with the 60GB version clocking in at $299, the Elite running you a cool $399, and the Arcade setup dropping to a totally affordable $199 (we're looking at you, potential Xbox LIVE opponents). Sure this could all be some Photoshop wiz's idea of a hilarious joke, but we're keeping the fingers and toes crossed over here. Target date for truth? September 7th -- so stay tuned.

You can still find used Xbox-360's for less on craigslist - and they usually come with games and such... I'm in the market for one right now because Fallout-3 is coming out in 2 months. :woot: Btw, what is this "Arcade setup" that they'll be selling for $199?

that looks like a real old picture to be a new ad.

Stay away from the arcade setup, and wait for the 60gb model to go down to $299 then POUNCE!!!!!
