Confirmed: Xbox360 Price Drop Across All Skus

[Devil May Cry]

bc MS did not need to. With the PS3 at $600 and doing not so hot, it really wasnt to their advantage to lower the price. I think they are counteracting hte recent PS3 price cut now, but to be honest, they still were in a safe spot, at least through the end of the year

I concur.

HDMI Port Found on X360 Premium Model

A Shacknews community member has reported finding an HDMI port on an Xbox 360 premium console he purchased today at a Target store in Atlanta, Georgia. The newly discounted prices for Xbox 360 SKUs went into effect today, with the premium selling for $349.99.

The HDMI output was introduced as a feature of the black Xbox 360 Elite this spring, but Microsoft made no mention of including the feature in upcoming iterations of the premium or core Xbox 360 SKUs. An image of the HDMI-enabled console provided a manufacturing date of July 4, 2007. The documentation included with the console contained an illustration of the HDMI port as well, and referenced the option to use an HDMI cable for video output.

It is unknown whether HDMI will be included in all newly manufactured $349.99 premium or $279.99 core models. Microsoft representatives would not provide a response to Shacknews other than saying, "Microsoft does not comment on rumors or speculation."

Microsoft has said the upcoming Xbox 360 Halo 3 Special Edition console will include an HDMI port when it is released in September.
