Rumours abound, Xbox 360 at $US299 on July 6th @ K-Mart (US) - What about Australia ?

Pictures have surfaced of K-Marts next sales catalogue due for release next week showing 3 pics of the Xbox 360 Pro 20 gig unit for just a "New Low Price" of $US299.99. which is due for release on July 6th - (US).

To further fan the fires, New Zealand's GamePlanet, an online retailer based in NZ, has stated they have price drops on both the Xbox 360 Elite and the Xbox 360 Pro, reducing their retail price by $NZ100 which are scheduled for July 2nd in NZ.

This is just a week out from E3 '08 and could well be true. It would fall inline with the European price drop earlier and hopefully it "may" see its way over to the Asian areas, including Australia/New Zealand - fingers crossed.

While rumours are one thing, pics of in-store promotional gear are another thing altogether, as it cost big $$ to do art and advertising and print runs of that magnitude for it to be "just a rumour or hoax". The question is, "will Australia share in this price drop, or will we still have to wait even further to get a reduced price, while PS3 sales increase in the area"...
