How about a price break on the 360?

Or same price with Halo 3 thrown in.

Don't count on it

I don't think that Microsoft will even consider a price break this
year. They're not exactly hurting for sales right now, and if H3 sells
a bunch of 360s for them, as they are predicting and will likely
happen, there's no reason for them to lower the price of it before
then and loose out on any profit they'll make off of those consoles.

not likely to see 360 price drop

but it is possible the PS3's price will drop some, because those systems just sit in the store where I live, most people see it as too expensive. On the other hand, Wiis sellout pretty quickly and the 360 units move at a modest pace. But, to alos be fair, the ps2 still sells well down here too. But the fastest selling item here is the Nintendo DS.
