Xbox 360Microsoft is planning to drop the U.S. price of all of its Xbox 360 game consoles tomorrow, putting the most affordable configuration, the Xbox 360 Arcade, at $200, fully $50 cheaper than Nintendo's market leading Wii. BusinessWeek says the $80 price drop, which follows similar cuts in Japan, will be followed by a software update this fall which will bring a "cleaner, more intuitive" interface and a new casual gaming channel called Primetime to the console. The mid-range Xbox 360 and high-end Xbox 360 Elite will both get $50 discounts, putting them at $300 and $400, respectively.
