Microsoft will soon cut the price of its best-selling Xbox 360 model, according to a published report. The company will reduce the retail price for the 20-GB Xbox 360 Pro by $50, to $299 in the coming weeks, according the Hollywood Reporter. The magazines report cited anonymous sources in the retail industry. Microsoft officials did not immediately return a call from InformationWeek seeking comment. Microsoft is looking to maintain recent Xbox sales momentum in the face of stiff competition from Sonys PlayStation 3 and Nintendos Wii unit. The 40-GB PlayStation 3 sells for $399, while the Nintendo Wii sells for $250.
In its most recent quarter, Microsoft reported that Xbox 360 total console sales surpassed 19 million during the period, up 74% from the previous year. Recent releases of hot-selling game titles, including Halo 3″and Grand Theft Auto IV, have helped spur Xbox 360 sales. Halo 3, an Xbox 360 exclusive, smashed numerous gaming industry sales records when it debuted late last year including most launch-day sales. Among the upcoming titles that Microsoft is counting to further grow Xbox 360 sales is Rock Band 2, which is slated for release in September. The game lets players perform popular songs by using an array of virtual instruments.

I picked up a new in the box Elite for $365 last week. A special bro deal from someone that had an extra and needed some scratch.
One for the office and one for the garage.
