The previously mentioned $30 drop in the retail price of Microsoft's Xbox takes effect in the U.S. and Canada on Tuesday, March 30, according to News.com. There's no mention of any price change for Halo. Analysts are already speculating about whether Sony will also cut the price of the PlayStation 2, and about whether or not this cut is deep enough to spur additional Xbox sales.

Personally, I think the biggest boost that Xbox sales will get this year will be the released of Halo 2 and possibly Fable.
