Amazon: Sales For Xbox 360 Way Up

People love things on the cheap!!! The PS3 is benefiting from this theory as their sales have gone up 135% since dropping the price. Now it looks like the Xbox 360 may be getting some of the same cheap love.

Amazon.com is reporting that the Xbox 360 Premium has jumped to #11 in sales in video games. The Elite and Core have also seen a bump in sales as well. The racing game Forza 2 for the 360 has jumped from #94 to #1, obviously benefiting from the surge in sales of the 360.

It's a little early to see what kind of impact the price drop will have on the 360, but signs are pointing to a big hit.

Hopefully Forza 2 isn't becoming more popular for other reasons.
