That's actually not a bad price. I didn't read the link, but I wonder if there's a corresponding price drop for the other 360 SKUs in the pipeline? I'm not going to buy a 360 without a hard drive, really. I'd be tempted if the Elite dropped by the same proportion of the current retail price. I don't really need a 360 right now, but I dare say Eternal Sonata might get a bump up the priority list if nothing else.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Now we're talkin' business. Even assuming that Eternal Sonata gets ported to the PS3, there's got to be something I'm going to enjoy on the 360. I'd be a fool to myself to get any model other than the Elite, considering that I hear the new CPU process and cooling solution have pretty much licked the problem which led to red rings of death.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

You are correct, of course. I meant to say assuming that it comes out in English on the PS3. I know the Japanese release is confirmed, but I don't know about an American and hopefully European release yet.

Also, the Elite isn't the only model with the new, smaller chipset.

How exactly does one tell, before parting with a fistful of cash?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Thanks Skills, it's something to go on at least.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I know this post was a while ago, but I thought I'd respond since it's relevant. It would seem that maybe the lot numbers are consistent across regions, because my new 360 Elite was lot number 745, which is just a little bit above what Skills suggested would be the start of the new stock with the Falcon chipset.

I'd like to thank all those who gave me advice in this thread.

I was speaking idiomatically.
