Confirmed: Xbox 360 Elite to Replace the Xbox 360 Pro

Yeah, we felt it coming. The Xbox 360 Elite is going to drop in price to $299 and will ultimately become the new “Pro” console, letting the white box that we know and love wither away. This will make only two consoles on the market: the Xbox 360 Elite and the cheap harddrive-less Xbox 360 Arcade bundle.

We aren’t sure if this means that we will only have the black Elite to choose from and the white with chrome finish color scheme will become a thing of the past, but expect to find out around August 30th, which is the release date for the Meijer catalogue pictured above. Happy travels, Xbox 360 Pro. [Via]
