Xbox 360 to get $50 price cut

It will drop to $299, making it basically a wash with the Wii (if you could actually find one):

Wiies are actually easy to find now.

Hopefully this will drive more people to the 360 over the PS3.

"Easier", yes. "Easy"? I don't know about that. Online they are sold out, unless you buy a bundle, which I wouldn't put in the "Easy" category. To be clear, I am talking about buying a new console from a store without a bundle.

Nice, with the Blu ray player that's a tough one to decide.

I see them at my Toys R us and traget all them time now (Wii). Maybe in the country they are hard to get.

Hmmm...tough to decide on 360 over PS3 or Wii over 360. Only PS3 has Blue Ray and it has been lowered in price.

I'm in DC - I just never see them around. I think I've seen one in a store (Target) in 18 months.

Have you looked in the video game asile? =)

No, the stores closer to the cities don't have "asiles".

Zing!

The Wii is still not readily available everywhere. I rarely see them in stores, I picked up mine online a few weeks ago on Best Buy and they were sold out in a few hours.
