Microsoft cuts Canadian Xbox 360 console prices

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?
