by John Tanaka
August 31, 2008 - Microsoft will cut the price of the Japanese Xbox 360 by 30%, the Nihon Keizai Shimbun daily reports in its Monday morning edition.
The Arcade model will drop to 19,800 yen, down 8,000 yen from its current 27,800 yen price point. The Pro and Elite models will see drops of between 5,000 and 8,000 yen, bringing them to 29,800 yen and 39,800 yen.
A 19,800 yen price point would make the 360 the first new generation system to fall below the 20,000 yen mark.
The price drops will take place on September 11, the day of Infinite Undiscovery's release.
Microsoft will hold a press conference in Tokyo today at 10:00PM Pacific time where it will detail its upcoming plans for the Xbox 360 in Japan.
