After weeks of leaked catalog ads unofficially showed off the price cut, Microsoft has officially dropped the price of the Xbox 360 Elite today, with the console set to sell for $299 USD beginning tomorrow morning, in the United States.
The Pro model, which features a smaller HDD, will drop to $249.99, and seems to be on the way out, in favor of the Arcade and Elite models.
