If you considering investing in an Xbox 360 you might want to hold out for a little while.
Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter's expecting Microsoft to be offering some seriously attractive bundles later this year.
"At a minimum, we anticipate the introduction of a more feature-packed Xbox 360 as the standard SKU in late 2010 (likely with a 250GB hard drive) at the same $299 price point," he said in a research note.
"It is far more likely that we will see a slim version of the Xbox 360 with a 250GB hard drive and with Project Natal bundled into the box while maintaining the $299 price point," he added.
That's the current price of an Xbox 360 Elite bundle with a 120GB hard drive, and equates to less than £200. Let's hope Pachter's crystal ball's on the money.

I'd probably buy that if i had the money and they could prove it wouldn't melt within 3 months.

Hopefully this will be confirmed at E3. I do like the current design though!

Even though I already have a 360 I only have a 20 gig HDD with it.
I would buy this if it is true. However would this not mean that the Xbox 360 elite would get a price cut along with the Arcade version?
I gues we will find out more about this at E3.

I also will say that the new Xbox slim will have slight memory revisions to the GPU and the main system memory, from 512MB to 1GB.
