QuoteIn fact, he sees the $50 cut currently on offer for the Xbox One evaporating before the holidays.

I thought Microsoft made the $349 price permanent?

Really? I always thought the sale lasted from last holiday season to early January and the $349 price tag from mid-January on is permanent >_<

I'm pretty sure it's still a sale.

Yeah, it's going to be an even bigger sale when the 500gb model goes for 299.99.

Microsoft said when they changed it back to $350 that they were "continuing the sale indefinitely". I'm paraphrasing of course but that's basically how they put it. I also don't think Microsoft is going to drop the price of the 500GB model to $300 when it seems the 1TB model will be going for $400. A 500GB increase in hard drive space is not worth $100.

Here's why the Xbox One is getting another temporary price drop | Polygon

"It's a temporary reduction and we're not announcing an end date at this point," Nichols said. "We want to see how people react to it."

In addition to the 1TB model announcement:

We're also pleased to announce that starting today, the $349 USD price on all standard Xbox One 500GB consoles will be permanent in the United States and select regions.

Well, there it is.

Xbox One 1TB - $400
Xbox One 500GB - Temporary $350 price tag now permanent.

Exactly what I expected. With this announcement, there is almost zero chance of Microsoft announcing a price cut at E3 or even any time soon.

Just if he is talking about the new 1TB model lol
