The publication also cited the following price changes that will supposedly take effect once the cut pushes through: The Xbox 360 Arcade SKUs will reportedly be priced at only GBP 150 (or EUR 199, US$ 306), while Xbox 360 Pro units will clock in at  GBP 230 (EUR 299, US$ 460). A price change for the Elite console wasn't reported, however.

Some reports also mentioned that Bart Smith, a Dutch retailer, confirmed the reports about the new Xbox 360 prices, but it's better to wait for Microsoft Europe's official word, which is purported to come out on Monday morning, and until then, we'll file this juicy tidbit under rumors.
Also, will the above price changes be applied to other markets as well? Only time will tell.

As you can see, you get Pacman and UNO aswell... Two of the newest next generation Games , which, fortunatly for the Arcade Version of XBOX 360, doesnt need a HD to be enjoyed to the fullest.
