Rumors of a $50-80 slash on several Xbox 360 SKUs are appearing to prove true, as a new RadioShack flyer (pictured left) seems to confirm the earlier reports.

Joystiq notes that several contacts in the retail world have also indicated the reductions are a done deal.

The price cuts, apparently set to take place during the week of September 7, are as follows:

Xbox 360 Arcade (No Hard Drive): $199, down from $279
Xbox 360 Pro (60GB HDD): $299, down from $350
Xbox 360 Elite (120GB HDD): $399, down from $449
