Xbox 360 Gets A $50 Price Cut In Time For The Holidays

All of Microsoft's Xbox 360 holiday bundles have received a $50 price cut, presumably because of the impending holiday season. It's unclear if this is a temporary price-cut, or a permanent one. Assuming that a new Microsoft console is on the horizon, I'd be surprised if the prices on these bundles went back up after the December.

With all the stuff you can get on Xbox live today, 4GB is nothing! I have the 250gb hard drive and its filled up 100%! And i never thought i would go through all that mem.

I'm sure everyone trying to sell their 250gb hard drive Xbox on craigslist right now is pissed

where is the PS3 price cut?

Yo, Sony. MS saw your new slim, and they said, Suck It.

Not too surprised, but man, that makes for a reeally cheap home console. $50 off really puts you in the holiday cheer

To bad it's not also going to be on the Halo 4 console.
by Toadfish Sunday, October 14, 2012 at 12:11 PM

Good move! I just wish Sony would do it for the Vita
by Yusuke Urameshi Sunday, October 14, 2012 at 12:12 PM

I might buy one then. It'd be nice to have all the current gen consoles, especially now that this gen is starting to wind down.

4gb is really nothing, i go through that in a day
by hitchhikerwaffle Sunday, October 14, 2012 at 12:22 PM

I may just have to buy this one. http://www.gamestop.com/xbox-360/consoles/xbox-360-250gb-holiday-bundle/104892

ok the price is good for only 4GB
by Relic of War Sunday, October 14, 2012 at 12:39 PM

A 360 is pretty much useless to me since all it really has is Halo and Multiplatform games, but I would totally get a PS3 if it was cut
by Companion Cube Sunday, October 14, 2012 at 12:40 PM

Really? I have no idea why, but this pisses me off... Maybe it's because Sony won't cut their prices.
by ViaDanchops Sunday, October 14, 2012 at 12:48 PM

Not bad at all...
by jmpittman860220 Sunday, October 14, 2012 at 12:53 PM

Both Sony and Microsoft need to cut there prices. Neither system should be more than $200 except for the 500gb PS3 for $300 and the 320gb kinect bundle for $250. I can't believe people are paying $400 for a Halo 4 themed 360 that doesn't even come with the Collector's edition of the game or kinect.

frys electronics have the 4gb kinect bundle this week for 199.99

its refurbished but still a good deal
by God Of Irony Sunday, October 14, 2012 at 01:04 PM

thats a pretty big price cut...
by Tanooki Sunday, October 14, 2012 at 01:06 PM

And the impending Wii U.
by skrilla99 Sunday, October 14, 2012 at 01:33 PM

Man, the Halo console now seems like no brainer. 320GB, 2 LE Controllers and Halo 4 for $350!!! I've got it pre-ordered already but I've been going back and forth between that and buying the Halo 4 LE game for $100 plus the Halo 4 controller for $60. So for $190 extra bucks I get a 320GB console and an extra LE controller and still get the game. I think this made my decision a little bit easier.
