XBox 360 Elite Drops in Price to $299, RIP XBox 360 Pro Model

Category: Console News  By: Takavach - (kotaku.com)
Tags: xbox 360 elite drops price $299 rip xbox 360 pro model

197w ago - It appears the rumor from last week was accurate after all.

We now have a date for the Xbox 360 Pro model, with the shot (below) from a Meijer catalog due on August 30, 2009 and indicating the XBox 360 Elite is in line for a Pro-sized price cut to $299.

To quote: You'll remember, of course, that the origins of this rumor - Ars Technica's ever-reliable Microsoft mole - are that the 360 Pro is being phased out, taken off the market entirely, and that the 360 Elite will have its price slashed to that of the Pro to compensate. This will leave only two 360 consoles to choose from: the cheap, hard drive-less Arcade and the 120GB HDD Elite.

This will leave only two 360 consoles to choose from: the cheap, hard drive-less Arcade and the 120GB HDD Elite.

'Lo and behold, according to this catalog, that move looks like it'll take place a couple of weeks from now. So long, 360 Pro model.

They need to add an HDD to the arcade then. Thing is though, even with the price drop and even if you get an elite console.... it can still RROD on you

Console price drops are always welcomed news, +Rep Takavach!

Hopefully the other half of the rumor pans out as well, with a PS3 price drop announced to match.
