It is surprising that some readers chose not to believe that MS has room to drop the price of the Pro/Elite models by $50 immediately. To justify this just look at their Arcade bundle. It includes Sega Super Star Tennis and still sells for $199. The Pro system is nothing more than the arcade with a hard drive and HDMI cable slap on it. Real cost of the 60GB HD + HDMI cable is at most $50. This is why MS include two games in the pro bundle to justify its value at $299. Take a way those two games and the Pro system is truely only worth $249 now!
