Default Xbox 360 Price Drop

Rumor has it that the Xbox 360 Premium will be dropping in price to $299 (probably US prices).

Not sure how this will affect Canadian prices.

I would hope that they equalize the prices in Canada. Anything less is effectively a slap in the face given the recent stability of the dollar at approximately par.

Canada's a small enough market that it doesn't really matter. Microsoft doesn't care any more than the book publishing industry does.

(Read the inside the dust cover which lists the suggested retail price in Canada at 25% higher than the US).
