Xbox 360 Rumor

Hello All,

This is not actually a deal of the day post, more of a heads up and wait to buy post. This rumor has been duplicated at several different sites. There will be another Xbox 360 price drop in early September, so hold off on buying a 360 until then. Here is the low down on the price drop.
  • Arcade (no hard drive, but comes with a memory card and some games, console is in white)
  • Current $279 to $199
  • Pro (60GB hard drive, console is in white)
  • Current $349 to $299
  • Elite (120GB hard drive, console is in black)
  • Current $449 to $399
Now you may ask which one should I buy? Tough question. Microsoft has this page to help you with the differences. I bought the elite myself when it came with two games, the current elite bundle does not come with games. The space is nice as Xbox will be updating the 360 this fall to allow you to play games off the hard drive for much faster load times. You can also store pictures and more on the 360. I would buy the elite myself, but the pro is a solid value if you do not mind deleting things and making room on the hard drive.

Later,

John
