Things just got re-interesting-er!

I'll be brief, because apparently nobody loves me on the dtoid snitch line, otherwise known as tips@destructoid.com.

Sony Computer Entertainment Europe's David Reeves stated that the 60GB PS3 is going the way of the 20 Gig model and being discontinued in late July in favor of the 80GB version, meaning that the console is still $599 American.

But that is only half of the story here. I have a very good source within a major Canadian retailer that guarantees that despite the lack of a cut at E3 this week, the Xbox 360 will drop $100 across all SKU's. When? Sooner than you think. AUGUST 1ST.

I can't confirm all the details, but basically in less than 3 weeks the console prices will be the following:

-Xbox 360 core, $199 American (with pack-in memory unit!)
-Nintendo Wii, $249 American
-Xbox 360 Premium, $299 American
-Xbox 360 Elite, $449 Canadian, possibly $399 American
-PS3, $599 American, $649 Canadian

So August 1st, Xbox 360 will be the lowest price console on the market with the core system, and the difference between the 360 Core and the only PS3 will be a staggering $400 US! You heard it here first!

If true, Microsoft is definitely turning up the heat this holiday.

Hell, I would. I'd just get the noob behind the counter to change the date and price and get my warranty extension.

Really though. If they're smart, then they'll pull a Sony and liquidate all the current consoles. Then they'd rebuild the 360 with better cooling functions, because that's the only thing causing them to malfunction.

I'd still rather have a Wii.

I barely can find one around here I'll wait until the fall. I'm going to get a 360 today maybe. I don't care if they are defective you get a 3 year warranty now anyways. So you'll get the new parts and everything if it breaks atleast.
