360elite

Would-be Xbox 360 owners rejoice: The console’s getting its long-rumored price cut!

As expected, the 360 will retain 3 SKUs until supplies of the Pro model run out. Here’s the price breakdown:

  • Xbox 360 Elite 120GB: $299.99 (down from $399.99)
  • Xbox 360 Pro 60GB: $249.99 (down from $299.99)
  • Xbox 360 Arcade: $199.99 (same price)

Those of you who want a 360 Pro model–possibly for aesthetic reasons to match the rest of your white apartment–need to act quickly. The model’s been discontinued and this is the last run of the SKU.

In the future, there will only be Elite and Arcade. Which type of gamer are you?
