From the piece:
Microsoft will cut the price of its most popular Xbox 360 model, the 20GB Pro, by $50 to $299 in the coming weeks, game industry sources have confirmed.

Kotaku say these guys blew the lid on the last price drop, so it seems a fairly safe bet now.

We already saw the flyers showing this… it was about as confirmed as it could be.
