Think about it Salamursu. Why do console manufacturers deny to the death that a new sku, new bundle or price cut are coming until just a few days before it arrives? Simple, people would stop buying currently existing stock if they new they could get a better deal very soon. Microsoft would want as many premiums and elites gone as possible before they put more in with better bundles (and such games could actually come inside the box ala forza and viva pinata).
Additionally, GDC starts on the 18th, the perfect time to announce something big like new bundles, a new SKU or a price cut. I might add that Microsoft has the biggest booth at the whole conference, though that doesn't always mean anything.
