Walmart ad

Speculation of a Xbox 360 price drop has risen considerably since the week of E3, and many mainstream media publications have also hinted at a drop sometime this August. Now, as the month of July nears its end, a leaked Walmart ad has appeared (week unknown) that displays the Xbox 360 premium package with a price roll-back.

This latest Walmart ad confirms the rumored price drop for the Xbox 360, reducing the premium bundle $50 in price: the SKU will now run gamers $350. The picture of the ad is poor quality, but if one enlarges it, the words “roll-back” appear above the newly listed price. As of now, the rest of the ad hasn’t been leaked, so it’s still unknown as to whether the price drop will range every Xbox 360 SKU; however, it would be logical for Microsoft to do so. With a $50 drop on the Core system, the 360 will be in direct competition with the Wii’s pricing- an attractive spectacle to those who seek the cheapest system possible.

Until the full Walmart ad is released, please note that this news will remain a rumor due to the less than satisfactory picture quality. Rumors have hinted at this price drop for weeks now, so chances are VERY likely that the drop will occur in the near future
