I just don't understand the point of MS continuing to sell the Premium version now that the Elite is in full production swing. Particularly with the reliability issues, most of which are fixed with the Elite.

But the funny part here is that when MS first announced the Elite this spring, they said they would sell it at a "reduced $499 price point" and then RAISE the price after that initial discount. Looks like they had to change their tune.

Of course it's nothing new. Existing console prices ALWAYS drop when E3 comes around, because it gives them another reason to write another press release.
