Rumors are that the Arcade version's going to come with a motion controller and the update pre-installed for $199.

Sounds good to me. I can't wait for the new update. Looks much better than the basic blade-esque thing we have now.

120 GB Elite $399, 60 GB Premium $300, Arcade $199.

Looks good and is good for the consumers, it's even better. Especially because I want to sell my current Xbox and get an Elite.

I thought those were not rumors, I think I read about those prices already. A good move by Microsoft.

Good. I want the HDMI cable too. Too bad I'd need an HDMI hub since my HDTV and PS3 already take up my two HDMI ports.

Holy shit Serge. You're officially better now.

And yeah, more and more proof is coming out. I'm more excited about the update though.

399 for the Elite is a great deal and a good competition for the PS3. Xbox needs to cut the prices coz the PS3 is selling more now. Nintendo really doesn't matter, coz it's leading the sales based on price, not on quality.

Yep. In all honesty, besides Blu-Ray, I'd say they're pretty equally advantaged right now. For the PS3 you get 40 more gigs, a game and a dualshock controller for $500, but with the Elite you get 2 games, the HDMI cable and a just as good amount of gigs for $400.

So, Blu-Ray is really the only difference maker between the two right now.

Me thinks the Elite with 2 games won't be 400.

I got my elite with 2 games, plates, and a cable for my PC monitor and some more random stuff for like £300 at Xmas, so it's doable

It currently comes with 2 games...Forza 2 and Marvel: UA.

Doubt they'd change it, although I'm hoping they'd update the games to 2 newer ones.

Best buy sells it with Madden and Tiger Woods for 570.

I dunno. Is it the same?

That's one of best buy's custom deals and as I've come to expect, is a total rip-off.

The one on new egg doesn't show any games but is titled
"Microsoft Xbox 360 Elite w/2 Games 120 GB Hard Drive Black - Retail"
In the specifications it also lists the two games it comes with so its not just a misprint.
It just doesn't come with the same two games...

It doesn't say which two games. They could be selling it with two free downloads. The Best Buy deal is shipped with Madden 09 and Tiger Woods, or games for $120.

Yes it does, click on specifications...

Anyways, like you showed... the system with out ANY games is the same prices as the system with 2 at frys... So for the same prices as you could get the system, Madden 09 and Tiger Woods you could get the system, Madden 09 and Tiger Woods AND Forza 2 and Marvel Ultimate Alliance from newegg.

That's a really, really good price set.

200 bucks for the low-end gamer/family gamer.

300 bucks for the mid-range gamer.

400 bucks for the high-end gamer.
