Another image has surfaced indicating the Xbox 360 Pro is to be done away with. This latest shot puts the price tag on the Xbox 360 Elite, currently set at $399 US, at $299.
As of right now, Microsoft is still offering three pricing tiers for its console. The Arcade unit at $199 US, the Pro at $299 US, and the Elite. If the price drop was to happen and the Pro is phased out, that would leave just the Arcade and Elite versions.
We've put in a request for comment to Microsoft and will update this story when we get a response.
Update: Hey, we got a reply: "Microsoft does not comment on rumors or speculation."
Looks like if there is in fact something brewing, Microsoft isn't quite ready to say anything just yet.
