Microsoft's XBox 360 to be Powered Up!

From Joystiq comes the new holiday line up for Microsoft's XBox 360 and will be powered up!! An atempt to convert more Sony fanboys to join into the 360 pool (those who still has the PS2 and waiting to happen to the PS3), Microsoft is bundling alot of extras to all the SKUs currently in selves coming October. I made a little chart for you to check see for yourself.

XBox 360
Elite
HDMI port
120GB HDD
Wireless Controller
HDTV Component Cable
HDMI Cable
Games included
Forza Motorsports 2
Marvel Ultimate Alliance

Release Date: October 23, 2007
XBox 360
Pro
HDMI port
20GB HDD
Wireless Controller
HDTV Component Cable
Games included
Forza Motorsports 2
Marvel Ultimate Alliance

Release Date: October 09, 2007
XBox 360
Arcade
HDMI port
256MB Memory Card
Wireless Controller

AV Cable Games included:
Boom-Boom Rocket
Pac-man
Uno
Feeding Frenzy
Luxor 2

Release date: End of October

As you could see that the before Core package, now going to be dubbed Arcade like they have in UK, will have the most power ups. From a wired to a wireless controller and from without a HDMI to with a HDMI port. Also to be dubbed Arcade because it will come with 5 Live Arcade games pack in the 256MB Memory Card that its going to come with.

So this might not be a price drop because all will still cost the same $449.99, $349.99, and $279.99 but having all the extras maybe costing about $50 to $100 more then without it.

Is Microsoft being Sony to the punch again knowing that rumors going around that Sony might have another price drop? I think so.
