would be the dumbest move any company would have done this gen... unless they are losing per each pro and arcade model sold and they made the money back on the elite so now they are dropping elites price they cant afford the losses, I don't see this happening at all.

nintendo did it in the UK, and overall they were making bilions profits.

You're wrong. What Nintendo did was adjust for the currency exchanges.

This is a smart move, now instead of just a console, it's an investment.

I think it's true. I was checking the product listings at the Best Buy I work at and there were two arcade consoles listed. The first was going for 199 CAD and the second was 229 CAD, so the rumour could very well be true.

Would be a good rumour for MS to start as it means people will rush out to buy one before the price rise

Won't happen though

According to this thread:

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=371367

The price may go up by 20 GBP in the UK from 139.99 to 159.99 (something similar happened with the Wii earlier this year), and has already gone up $30 in Canada, from $199 to $229.

Cheacking BestBuy.Ca, the Arcade currently is $229, while the Pro remains (at least until the 30th) $299.

Whether the same will happen in the UK or not, I guess we'll find out soon.
