Forget the price drop, if you’re willing to sacrifice appearance, get one of these cheap, puke green 360s from Hot Topic. Online system reports them as sold out, but they are supposedly available in-store.
All of this ugly stuff for $199:
This deal was announced last month, but I think it bears mentioning again as the deal ends in two days on August 17, 2008.
Heads up! Scene It: Lights, Camera, Action for the Xbox 360 is on clearance at Sears for $25. If you go to Sears.com and search for the game, there’s an option to check the inventory of your local stores so that you don’t waste a trip. Technically this deal is YMMV, but plenty of people are reporting success on CAG and DVDTalk. For those who don’t have the game yet, it’s well worth the clearance price and it’s a lot of fun with a group of people, especially if those people are movie buffs. Good luck and good hunting for those who try and track this one down.

If you’re a risk lover, this one may be barking right up your tree (or something like that). Did I mention that this is a refurb and has only a two month warranty? Considering you would still need to shell out $100 for the overpriced hard drive, you would probably be better off just getting one of those out-of-production, price-slashed Premium/Platinum systems.
