Ars Technica claims that a proven source says both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 will get price cuts before the holiday, with the 360's 120 GB Elite model replacing the 60 GB Pro model, and the PS3's 160 GB model dropping to the same price as the current 80 GB model, with a cheaper-still slim model of the PS3 replacing that one. These are just rumors of course, and it's not the first time we've heard them, but hey, we know you like to stay informed!
