Seems that people are now using Sunday ads to leap the announcement of price drops for consoles.  The latest is ads in Toys R Us and Walmart leaked to the internet shows the Xbox 360 Premium retailing for $349.  This ad is for the August 12th ads but it has been rumored the drop could take place as soon as August 8th.  No word if these means all three systems will drop $50 but the timing is obvious since it's placed right next to Madden in the ad.

UPDATE:  Looks like the Elite will drop to $449 ($30 drop), Pro $349 ($50 drop) and the Core $279 ($20 drop).  This seems a lot more reasonable plus it seem Rockstar's Table Tennis is beeing thrown in for free at Circuit City.
