The July 13 date coincides nicely with E3, which will begin on the 14th. It's thought that Microsoft will officially announce the price drop in company's opening conference at the trade show. Also likely will be price drops for the other Xbox 360 versions (Arcade and Elite), or the possible discontinuance of the $279 Xbox 360 Arcade (replaced by the current Premium) and the launch of the rumored 60-GB Xbox 360 unit in the Premium's place. Regardless, expect hardware news from Microsoft in a few weeks when E3 begins.
