LOL! WOW, that's funny!

Think about it. What's the first thing they do after Bill Gates retires? Looks like he might have been pushing to keep that op sys on the market.

Damn, he wasn't even out the door 24 hours. :)

"considering that none of the leaked flyers that have popped up have mentioned price drops for the other Xbox 360 SKUs: a $299.99 Xbox 360 Pro would effectively kill sales of the $279.99 Arcade SKU unless MSFT was willing to also slash the Arcade's price."

If they were to cut the price of the Arcade Model as well by $50 they would sell out in record time! A $229 Console with PS3 quality (if not better) graphics would be an amazing deal.

They would temporarily loose a little money but get it all back because more publishers will be attracted to the massive user base.

Example: Rock Band 2 being released on the XB360 months before the PS3,Wii,etc Versions.

In short they wanna make a profit first to balance out the potential loss and parts shortages for all the kits they would have to of made.
