Rumor: Best Buy dumps Xbox 360 Core?

Is Best Buy ditching the Xbox 360 Core model? We’ve picked up this rumor from Joystiq that allegedly claims the retailer to be dropping future shipments of the unit into their stocks.

The image you see above is supposedly the stocks list of the store, and as you will see with the circle markings on them (depending on how clear your eyesight is), underneath the model description is the status described as “Deleted”. Ominously, this means that there won’t be any more new stocks coming in through the doors of Best Buy.

Microsoft had already released a statement about this last July 16, stating that: “… Xbox 360 Core remains an important member of the Xbox 360 family.” Not exactly a direct answer, is it? Joystiq contacted them again in light of this more recent evidence, and Microsoft replied, “Nothing’s changed since last week.”
