Xbox 360 price drop tomorrow

MCV Staff 26th August 2009 Business News

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.
