Microsoft confirms Xbox 360 price drop for Friday

Since Sony's PS3 price drop, eyes have been glued on Microsoft to see whether they'd adjust their prices to reflect the shift in all other next-gen consoles diving below the 300 dollar mark. After rumors, speculation, and retail circular ads, Microsoft has confirmed that the Xbox 360 Elite will get a $100 price cut, starting tomorrow, for a price of $299.

The 120GB Elite is the same size as the new PS3 Slim, which also has a $299 price point. Additionally, Microsoft announced that the 60GB Xbox 360 Pro models, which has secretly been discontinued, will be reduced to $249.99 while supplies last.

It is very interesting to see all current Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft next-gen consoles under the $299 mark, however in this economy, this should prove to be a wise move for the industry.
