- DiggJig, on 10/11/2007, -3/+334Nice to think about but I'm gonna wait for the Microsofts word before I believe anything. The amount of crushed rumors that E3 has yielded has done that for me.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -17/+124No, this is what makes a perfect destructoid article. Irresponsible journalism and pure speculation.
- iluvatar, on 10/11/2007, -12/+93The difference is you don't HAVE to have any of those things, they're not required to play the games. That's like complaining that an ipod really costs over 700 bucks because you went out and bought a car-charger, radio tuner, case, dock, new headphones, ect...
And not forcing some over-priced media format on us was the best decision MS made. I will concede that not having a hard-drive in every model was a dumb move though. - dvsbastard, on 10/11/2007, -5/+70I won't dig it yet, because I believe the source is... well... there is no real source...
BUT I won't write it off yet either because of this:
http://news.teamxbox.com/xbox/13997/Microsoft-Plans-to-Cut-Xbox-360-Price/ - tgapophis, on 10/11/2007, -1/+66Good call. The link even claims that the author can't "confirm any of the details". But then again, I guess that's what makes a rumor a rumor.
- n3on33, on 10/11/2007, -25/+82From the author on the site:
"My buddy works as a buyer for a major Canadian department store....this is legit. (I friggin hope, or I'm gonna look retarded)."
I work at a department store too, and therefore I must be right about everything. So if I were to say, "Halo 4 and Halo 5 confirmed, Wii exclusives!", I must be right, right?
This is totally not confirmed. BURIED. - theseaweedking, on 10/11/2007, -4/+37That's not a Destructoid article, it's a user blog that happens to be hosted on Destructoid. Anyone can sign up for one. Even you! Then, you can post articles made up of irresponsible journalism and pure speculation, too! It's a win-win situation.
- WickedDrag0oN, on 10/11/2007, -3/+33OK I don't think a grain of salt will do this time, I'm going to take this rumor with a ***** salt block.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -14/+42I am the author, and I use the same handle across all my web browsing. i just happen to know someone who has a $300 Million budget for purchasing every quarter.
- BurntToast, on 10/11/2007, -7/+34I'm not a huge fan of this thread's title or summary as it makes it seem like it's all official when it's still speculation... so buried. Could be true, could not be... but unless it's official, make sure to make that clear in the title and the summary. Just bad story submission there by a "community blogger" and not anyone official to destructoid.
If I post every little thing that my "friends" in the retail sector tell me... whew. - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -23/+49This isn't misleading to Mom and Dad who want to buy lil Jimmy a cheap console for Xmas that has Disney downloads (and includes a memory card). All SKU's are dropping, but the Core is the reason.
Add to the fact that IPTV is rolling out (cable companies would love a $199 set-top box with gaming functionality) and the Video Marketplace is also going worldwide (even Canada!) and you have the biggest news in the industries history, mark my words. - ringlord, on 10/11/2007, -2/+25MS has repeatedly said from the beginning that the HD-DVD drive will never be used for games -- it's only for movies. So everyone buying it knows exactly what they are getting -- a HD-DVD movie player period.
- postalblowfish7, on 10/11/2007, -6/+29*****
microsoft has already said they're not lowing their prices AT E3.
christ, destructoid is full of *****. - 3dom, on 10/11/2007, -7/+28Nothing is true on digg any more. You guys are retarded, stop digging ***** stories and getting my hopes up please..Buried as inaccurate
- sarusa, on 10/11/2007, -2/+23I'm going to have to wait for Sony to deny this Microsoft price drop before I know it's true.
- hollismb, on 10/11/2007, -2/+22Destructoid isn't a gaming site. It's an ad revenue generating blog that steals content from actual gaming sites.
- kitchensj, on 10/11/2007, -6/+25I just can't trust Destructoid after the (false) MGS4 Xbox360 announcement they made a while back.
- AJay85, on 10/11/2007, -3/+22Just a rumor, and a very hard to believe one, at that.
Buried as lame. - consonance, on 10/11/2007, -4/+22I really couldn't care less if you claim to have to have a 300 million dollar man. The Xbox 360 price drop rumor has never been verified, not even at E3. Why would Microsoft choose to announce a price drop AFTER that event? Do you remember the year the Sega Dreamcast and the Playstation 2 were announced at E3? Sega got on the podium and talked about this great console, and then Sony took the stage and announced technical specs that blew away Sega. There's absolutely no reason for Microsoft to shy away from that kind of grandstanding when there's top dollar to be made.
I'll believe you... if it actually happens. - damndj, on 10/11/2007, -5/+22Buried for an moronic editorial in the subject.
- thepolkapunk, on 10/11/2007, -2/+17*****!!! Give me a source, then I'll believe it.
- hollismb, on 10/11/2007, -5/+20Except a $199 Core (set top box) won't play Disney downloads like you mention. There's nothing to save them to.
- strictnein, on 10/11/2007, -0/+14$300 million a quarter could be a number of different companies.
Best Buy, Circuit City, KMart, Walmart, Target, EB Games, Sears etc
At a company like Target of Walmart there are probably several senior level buyers who have budgets that are at the $300 million mark. Target sells about $15 billion a quarter. - RooDoG, on 10/11/2007, -3/+17BLOGSPAMRUMOR, the worst of them ALLLLLL. Buried
- jacksons98, on 10/11/2007, -5/+19@truspector Yeh because that CAT5 cable would look really good running up my staircase. Wifi is a must for me.
- NinjaBoy, on 10/11/2007, -1/+15I think id cry if this is true. I just droped $570 last night to get a 360 and guitar hero.
- drlha, on 10/11/2007, -1/+14Dropped to $599? Sony really have you fooled don't they?
- catalysis, on 10/11/2007, -5/+18So you basically just outed your source?
- revenge7, on 10/11/2007, -2/+15*cough*Bioshock*cough*
- Zero2aHero, on 10/11/2007, -1/+14You've got to be a kidding, some random guy with no credentials posts a blog story on destructoid and it makes the front page of digg.
- TheKricket, on 10/11/2007, -3/+15dont SERIOUS gamers use pc's?
- M3RCINIAN, on 10/11/2007, -2/+13zomgwtfbbq. I'm goign to wait until I see the price actually drop before I ***** myself. Sony has even claimed that the price drop will continue. http://www.next-gen.biz/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=6427&Itemid=2
PS Whats with all the destructoid spam? - eightyd, on 10/11/2007, -4/+15Holy *****, these articles are getting so annoying. WAIT TILL IT ACTUALLY HAPPENS.
- tgapophis, on 10/11/2007, -6/+17Okay, so I'm an idiot because you seem to remember a statistic? I'd give you more credit if you didn't need to revert to name calling and could just disagree or provide an alternative viewpoint without needing to challenge my intellectual prowess. I wonder what percentage of 360 owners WOULD be using WiFi to connect to Xbox live if they had included it for the $2.00 it would have cost them and didn't charge an excessive price for the add-on?
- nVoy, on 10/11/2007, -2/+13Basically it's too good to be true.
- eightyd, on 10/11/2007, -4/+15This is a stupid argument. At least microsoft gives us the option of picking and chosing what accessories we want, instead of forcing them on us. I for one have no need for wifi (my home is wired), and I don't really want an HDDVD drive right now. You could feasibly configure a honda to have as many features as a merdcedes, but not everyone wants to pay that much.
- DarkShroud, on 10/11/2007, -7/+18Yeah, they're too busy feeling bad about loosing a billion dollars on repairing broken consoles.
- canewediggit, on 10/11/2007, -4/+13there are far greater examples of site's playing digg than destructiod. maybe there's been a bit much of them lately, but with e3 this week, that's understandable. really no need for the abuse claim.
- n3on33, on 10/11/2007, -15/+24Destructoid did it again and cheated Digg.
- tnvwboy, on 10/11/2007, -1/+10Considering how much dust my PS2 has collected in the last year (I currently have no new console), I'd want to test the waters with the cheap "Core" system. I don't play so much that I can justify the cost of the full blown system, yet I want to be able to play some of these kick ass new games. I just saw a commercial for Dirt and I'm thinking, dammit I need a new console!
- TRUEPATRIOT, on 10/11/2007, -2/+11FTFA: "I can't confirm all the details"
i call bs.if he has nothing to confirm it how do we know its real?i dont doubt ms will drop price someday but this "article" has no references or sources.buried. - scotus, on 10/11/2007, -0/+9should we call this one plausible? or is it busted? i mean, i'd love to believe it, but $200 for the core seems impossible--there's still too much hardware in there to make that price worthwhile. I'm going with busted, though a price drop of some sort in the near future seems plausible.
- DJPhoenix, on 10/11/2007, -0/+9While this story isn't confirmed working at a department store and working as a buyer for a department store are completely different things.
- Blade2000, on 10/11/2007, -1/+9I read it on the Internet so it must be true!
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -6/+14There is no alternative, I only posted it there.
- smiley2billion, on 10/11/2007, -1/+8All versions of the 360 can work with the Mediaroom/Microsoft IPTV, you just can't record shows like a dvr with no hard drive.
- mymidgetfriend, on 10/11/2007, -1/+8This better be tagged as "may be inaccurate" soon..... god I hate headlines like these.
- louiedog, on 10/11/2007, -1/+8My Premium 360 was $340 with free shipping from Dell 7 months ago. If I wanted to add wireless I could buy a bridge for $40, but I don't need it because my cable modem is next to the TV, because that's where my cable comes in. I don't need wireless, and I didn't pay for it.
- spikormikor, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7Then how did you know it was biased?
- celkin, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7Halo 4 and 5 are Wii exclusive? AWESOME!
