Things just got re-interesting-er!

I'll be brief, because apparently nobody loves me on the dtoid snitch line, otherwise known as tips@destructoid.com.
Sony Computer Entertainment Europe's David Reeves stated that the 60GB PS3 is going the way of the 20 Gig model and being discontinued in late July in favor of the 80GB version, meaning that the console is still $599 American.
But that is only half of the story here. I have a very good source within a major Canadian retailer that guarantees that despite the lack of a cut at E3 this week, the Xbox 360 will drop $100 across all SKU's. When? Sooner than you think. AUGUST 1ST.
I can't confirm all the details, but basically in less than 3 weeks the console prices will be the following:
-Xbox 360 core, $199 American (with pack-in memory unit!)
-Nintendo Wii, $249 American
-Xbox 360 Premium, $299 American
-Xbox 360 Elite, $449 Canadian, possibly $399 American
-PS3, $599 American, $649 Canadian
So August 1st, Xbox 360 will be the lowest price console on the market with the core system, and the difference between the 360 Core and the only PS3 will be a staggering $400 US! You heard it here first!
If true, Microsoft is definitely turning up the heat this holiday.
Ron Workman's Metal Gear info better pan out too ;/

This could help Microsoft big time with the price of the Wii, people are going to see that price and it's going to help them move consoles quick. Thanks Sleepy for showing me this
