At $350.00 the new 60gb Pro version of the Xbox 360 was released last week. This new version replaces the older 20gb model which is currently being sold for $300.00 while supplies last. Most likely this new release is another effort to heed Sony’s new addition of more hard drive space.
The new Pro pack will have all the same ammenities as the previous Pro Pack, just more room under the hood, although next month the new Jasper edition Xbox 360s will start to hit the floor with a suspected price drop. When the Jasper version comes out it will replace the current Falcon models. The new Jasper model is supposed to be much quieter than the Falcon model as well as have less of a chance to overheat which causes the famous red ring of death. There has been rumours that whent he Jasper version comes out there will be price drops of $279.99 to $200.00 for the arcade version and $350.00 to $300.00 for the new Pro pack. If Microsoft does decide to drop the price of the arcade version to $200.00 then they will have the title for the cheapest next-gen console out doing the Wii’s current price of $249.99. So if you are planning on buying either a PS3 or an Xbox 360, wait until next month as both will be getting upgraded and possibly have their prices slashed.
