Xbox 360 Elite - Image 1If MCV UK is right, then we can all be enlightened as to Microsoft's real plans for the Xbox 360 as early as tomorrow. Expected to be included in the announcement would be the news that they'll be dropping the mid-range Pro SKU from the line, and a price drop for the Elite.

It also seems that there might be changes made to the Arcade SKU. Do note though that this scheduled announcement has not been confirmed by Microsoft, and so will be tagged as Rumor at this point.

Sony had earlier stated that they are not afraid of Microsoft's rumored price drop, and that they are ready with a plan. Basically the same thing that Microsoft said when the PS3 was rumored to be getting a price cut.

Stalemate.

What he said was hella funny!!



I have all 3 systems. I'm on my 5th 360(Elite). I have a 60GB PS3 and a HBC Wii with USB loader.



I play my 360 the least.

I feel that this generation of games + consoles is sub par compared to last. Maybe because I'm still waiting for a decent RPG like FF13.

I just found out that my PC can play games just as good as the PS3 and their free thx to utorrent:) Maybe I'm growing up.

» skygunner...

lol, i agree 100%



this generation has focused too much on graphics and being "more than gaming" systems. seems like the true "Do it all" system has been our PCs all along!

» I never new sooo many console games....

were available on the PC. So far I have paid for UT3, SFIV, GoW, COD4, COD5 WAW, Saints Row2, Left 4 Dead, Burnout Paradise, Mirrors Edge, The Orange Box. Alot of these games I already own on 360/PS3. I also use My 360 controller and my SFIV PS3 pads for all my Emu games. I've always supported the console scene but if things don't change then I'm gonna have'f to go full PC next gen. I'm sick of begging Sony to add things like in-game chat through the XMB for PS3 and MS to add a web browser to the 360. Even though I have a sick PC. I just bought a Logitech G13. Wow!!What a sick accessory.
