$479.99 is still a pretty hefty price isn't it? It's cheaper than the PS3 but more expensive than the WII.
If the release is true, it will be interesting to see how it affects the other systems sales.

Double posted sorry.

It seems pretty fake because they said they were going to release the X-Box 2 next

hmmm I was going to get a 360 this week but this made me think twice now... How long will it take the 360 Pro for the price to drop? 3 months?

Or should I just get one right now.

They have too many game systems already.
