As we all know (kick yourself if you do not) the Playstation 3 finally dropped in price after the offical announcement of the slim. We also know that the slim is only $299.99 and it comes with a 120gb hard drive. While there are still around the 80gb and 160gb bundles are $299.99/$399.99 respectively. We all also know that Microsoft countered this offer (again, you + kicking if you did not know), by dropping the price starting tommorow, (or in one hour and 57 minutes) of the Pro (60gb) to $249.99 and the Elite (120gb) to $299.99
So the rumors are that the 360 Pro is being phased out, kiss it goodbye once it's gone. also that the new packing of the Elite's are NOT going to come with an HDMI cable anymore. Not even a component cable. Following Sony's lead I see? Anyways, the biggest rumor of all was found on ign today that a listing appeared on Germany's Amazon site for a 250gb Xbox 360 Elite with a copy of Forza 3. Forza is not set to release till Oct 27th so there is plenty of time to see if Microsoft will even release this bundle in the US. Would not be that surprised seeing as they recently released a bundle in Canada for $349.99 that includes Halo 3 and the wireless network adapter.
p.s. All video game gold box at Amazon starts at Midnight PST. Sorry I can not find a link but I will add one in the morning when I wake up. Morning link update (It looks like it might be all Wii games.)
