The Xbox 360 has quietly received a $50 price drop on both the Arcade and Elite models at all stores during E3. This price drop wasn't announced by Microsoft (and could have spiced up their conference a bit if they had) but has become evident after major retailers such as Walmart, GameStop, and Target now list Arcade bundles at $149 instead of $199 and Elite bundles at $249 instead of $299.
This reduction is obviously to make room for the new Xbox 360 Slim model which is already available at stores now for $299. Cutting the price by fifty bucks on older models wasn't enough for some stores, however, and they are offering even more incentive for customers to buy a 360 Arcade or Elite now.
Walmart is offering a $50 eGift card to customers that buy the Arcade Spring Bundle for $149 which comes with two games (Viva Pinata and Banjo Kazooie Nuts & Bolts) effectively reducing the price to a mere $99. The same bundle can be found at Target except with a $30 gift card (though this one can be used in stores instead of just online like the Walmart one).
The Elite bundle can be found in two forms, one with Halo: ODST and Forza Motorsport 3 included and the other includes Pure and Lego Batman instead.

Yes it was ...
rob is a dumbass
Were you at the MS conference? Did you at least watch it on TV?
It wasn't announced during the conference, fellas.
Actually the Walmart promotion also covers store purchases. If you buy an XBox 360 Arcade in the store, you will be given a $50 gift card that can be used in the store, Sam's Club, Murphy's USA, or Walmart.com.
