Xbox 360 Pro Discontinued

The Xbox 360 Pro has been known to be the middle ground between Microsoft’s Xbox 360 Arcade and their Xbox 360 Elite.  Before continuing I want to list the specs that separate these different consoles to help elaborate the magnitude of the situation.

Xbox 360 Arcade: $199.99

-Wireless controller (Matte white)
-Composite AV cable
-HDMI 1.2 output (Cable not included)
-Internal 256 MB memory chip

Xbox 360 Pro: $299.99

-Wireless controller (Matte white)
-Xbox 360 Headset (Matte white)
-Ethernet cable
-Hybrid composite and component cable with optional optical out instead of a composite cable
-Detachable 60 GB hard disk drive
-HDMI 1.2 output (Cable not included)

Xbox 360 Elite: $399.99

-Wireless controller (Matte black)
-Xbox 360 Headset (Matte black)
-Ethernet cable
-Hybrid composite and component cable with optional optical out instead of a composite cable
-Detachable 120 GB hard disk drive
-HDMI 1.2 output (Cable included)

It is plain to differences between the consoles, but eliminating the Xbox 360 Pro can only mean one thing, price cuts! The Xbox 360 Elite will soon decrease in price due to the loss of an Xbox 360 family member, the pro.  This price decrease also serves to fight off Microsoft’s competitor game console manufacturers, such as Sony and Nintendo.  This competition is a huge bonus to the gaming community, because as these game consoles become cheaper, the overall culture will grow in population.

  • Sure you can avoid gaming all together and spend $0, but if you are willing to pay to play, then console gaming is relatively economical.
  • Yea that, plus the price for hard drive capacity is constantly going down.
  • I guess it was just not working out for them economiclly.
