Late yesterday, Microsoft announced that it will cut the price of the three Xbox 360 SKUs in Canada due to the ongoing battle with Nintendo and Sony to gain household dominance.
Microsoft spokesman David Dennis noted that prices only affect the Canadian market and prices will not change in the United States as "each market makes its own decision on the matter".
According to the article, the Standard and Elite models will be getting a $50 price drop off their original prices (making them $349 and $449 respectively), while the Arcade model is only dropping a mere $20 to $279.
Has this price drop influenced your decision on whether to get a Xbox 360 or not?

As is the case for just about any other product on the market.....it's not just Microsoft that price things alot cheaper across the pond!
...as before the price cut, only, pre-tax. It's not like you didn't have to pay the GST/PST before...
unless you live in Alberta

If you think £228 is bad, you try paying £400 for your Xbox Elite when it was brand new. I had to trade my Wii in for it, but it was well worth it

However I don't think its that easy for a xbox 360.
