The speculations regarding Xbox360 price-drop are rising promptly since E3. Although, Microsoft has denied an immediate price-cut, still the rumors are rising rampantly around us. This time, a couple of images coming from retailer ‘Walmart’ confirms a $50 price-drop for the Xbox360 Premium console. Orange blurry images from the retailer hint a low-priced console ($349) will be out for sale sometime this August.
Just two days back, The Hollywood Report reported that Microsoft is slashing Xbox360’s price by $50 on August 8th, however, it turned out to be a hollow claim as Microsoft denied to comment on it. The picture quality is poor, but if one enlarges it, the words ‘roll-back’ appear above the newly listed price; still, the evidences are little to withstand.
Anyway, the hullabaloo certainly hints something for sure, because, we went through dozens of speculations before getting a PS3 price-drop at hand, hence it makes me believe that Microsoft has certainly a price-drop around the corner.
It would be interesting to see how a $50 price-cut will affect the sales of its own kin members i.e. Elite & Xbox360 core system and its neighboring rival, PS3.
Until the ad is revealed completely, the news will remain a rumor for having unsatisfactory picture quality. Perhaps, Microsoft is also realizing a price-drop, so hopes are high for the coming week.

The iPhone has been one of the hottest items to acquire over the last year, and Apple has begun its takeover of the smart phone market with it. Currently, the iPhone is sold through AT&T, the sole service provider for it, Best Buy, and Apple stores. Apple is looking to add a new partner in its distribution of the iPhone – retail giant Wal Mart. Wal Mart has been looking to stimulate its consumer electronics sales, and is rumored to be on the cusp of adding the iPhone to its roster of mobile phones that they offer. Apple is said to be preparing a Wal Mart edition of the iPhone to hit shelves in the stores by just after Christmas. The iPhone, which retails at $199 for the basic edition, so far comes in 8 and 16 gigabyte models. The rumor is that the edition about to be sold at Wal Mart will only carry 4 GB of storage, and will retail for $99, half of the basic edition that is currently offered. Another rumor is that the basic model will arrive at Wal Mart instead, at a discount of only $2, so it will sell, with a 2 year AT&T plan, for $197 instead of the customary $199. (Not rolling it back TOO far, I see.) The idea is that if Wal Mart carries the 4 GB phone only, it will move mass units without undercutting the market for the 8 and 16 GB models. Wal Mart is starting to bring in third party advisors to educate their staff and consumers about late model technologies, in anticipation of the event.
