It’s been circulating the rumor-mongering Internets for some time now, but Microsoft has made it official:
- $199 Xbox 360 Arcade
- $299 Xbox 360 Pro (60GB)
- $399 Xbox 360 Elite (120GB)

September 4th, 2008 at 2:34 amthat’s why I bought an Elite when my launch system bricked. I haven’t had a single problem with it. It’s still a loud bastard, but it doesn’t run hot or anything even after playing games for hours and hours and hours.
