MCV can reveal that Microsoft will confirm its new SKU line-up in a matter of hours
After weeks of speculation, MCV can finally confirm that tomorrow is the day that Microsoft will reveal its new intentions for the Xbox 360.
The announcement is expected to include the ditching of the mid-range Pro SKU and a price drop for the high-end Elite model.
It’s also likely that there will be changes made to the Arcade SKU, too.
The move comes ahead of the official launch of Sony’s PS3 Slim console on Tuesday – an act of very deliberate timing and not, as had been previously suggested, a delayed announcement owing to excessive hardware stock in the channel.
MCV has contacted Microsoft for comment.

Any idea how much?
Any idea what the price will be?
Prices
Well the ELITE 360 has an RRP of 230 GBP. So expect that to come down to 200 GBP. The Arcade; I reckon they are just going to put a 60 GB HDD in it and stick the price at 160 GBP. That seems about right. It is a total guess though so take it with a grain of salt.
WTF?!
So MCV and GamesIndustry Knew The Date All Along???
expected a little more
£199, not bad. I had heard rumours that the cut would be nearer to £50 or £60, but £199 is not too bad.
Words of Wisdom
£130 Arcade, £170 Elite
Arcade will never have a HDD. Never.
Worldwide?
Is this price cut going to be valid in the U.S. and/or Canada as well?
@ThatGuy
i THINK YOU WILL HAVE A PRICE CUT AT A SIMILAR TIME AS WELL, THE MARKET IN AMERICA IS BIGGER..
Prices
The prices have been confirmed today. Looks like my total guess (but educated and logical I suppose) was right!
