Oh boy, it's like summer 2007 all over again. A poster on the High Def Digest forums has provided photographic evidence from a supposedly upcoming K-Mart sales sheet, which advertises a $50 price drop for the Premium Xbox 360 -- bringing its price to $299.99. The drop is said to be made on July 6, which would be one week before the start of E3.

While it seems legit, there are a few mysteries surrounding the posting, including what the anonymous poster's relation to K-Mart actually is. "I got pics from my Kmart sales ad coming out July 6th," is all he or she wrote, which is rather ambiguous. And there's no mention of any date in the photograph of the ad itself, so we're taking this enigmatic person at their word as far as the timing for the price drop goes. Also still unknown is whether a price drop will be announced for other versions of the 360 hardware, as the 20GB version seems to be the only one advertised.

But then, this wouldn't be the first time a hardware price drop was spoiled by a rogue sales sheet -- both a PlayStation 3 price drop and a 360 price drop (across all hardware versions) were leaked in the same way around this time last year.

X2. I would rather wait until ALL of the quality control issues are eradicated. Seems like tons of people are still getting the red ring o' death.

I'm holding out for a $250 model myself. $300 is a decent price for a console, but I'd rather pay $300 and get a model that comes with a hard drive, or pick up one for $250 and get ripped off on a hard drive somewhere down the road.

Yeah, it'll provide some good gaming. Just know, however, that 8-10 months after this official price drop, they'll confirm the next console and release details on it. Not that I work for Microsoft and my boss told me or anything, just have a hunch...

not so sure about that, it's too early for microsoft to make a next-gen console.

I wonder if I'll get any news on this, being a Microsoft employee and all. Hopefully I get to do some sort of testing for it, or get some insider info before everyone else.

Not that I'd be able to share any of it without Microsoft putting me on a cross the moment the info's leaked, but we'll see.
