Microsoft will officially cut the price of the http://www.epathchina.com/xbox-accessories-xbox-360-fan-c-293_303.html" target="_blank">Xbox 360 intercooler Elite SKU tomorrow across the UK and US as part of a move to phase out the Xbox 360 Pro bundle and help make room for the coming Natal controller - which many see as a re-launch of the Xbox 360.

The Xbox 360 Elite will be cut to just £199.99 starting tomorrow, while the Xbox 360 Arcade will get a price raise to £159.99 and will not now be bundled with any games or software.
The focus on broadening the media appeal of the Psp accessories extends to a new Vidstore too, which will allow users to download movies.
In the US meanwhile theSpeaking in an epic-length press conference just before the start of GamesCom in Cologne this year, Sony dropped details on a bunch of new features heading to the PSN download service in the near future.
The PlayStation Store will also be getting a bunch of new navigation options and smaller features, including a ‘What’s new?’ section to see what the latest wii controller content available is. It’ll also be getting the option for some dynamic themes, including one which we were shown that had the ubiquitous Sackboy from Little Big Planet jogging in the background.
While most of the announcements are quite small, there are a few good ones, particularly when it comes to video features for the console.It’ll launch in the UK this November and while details were slim for the moment we did note an option to either buy or rent films.
At its press conference, Sony was also keen to talk up the apparent success of PlayStation Home and detailed some of the new content that it’ll be getting in the common months – including at least two new regions and a bunch of activities. While our own thoughts about xbox accessories Home are ambivalent at best, Sony says it’s delighted with how well the online life sim and chat-platform has done – racking up more than 72 million content downloads since launch.
"We feel great about our console," said Greenburg. "We have taken a different philosophy, adding more value to our existing console through updates and reinventing the system software. We feel like our system has done very well for us in the current form. We have no plans for a slim."

“We’re very much committed to Home going forward,” said one Sony executive in the official presentation. ''wii accessories kit content is the draw going forward.”as well as trying to compete with Sony, who recently lowered the price of the PlayStation 3 to £249.99 in the UK and announced the introduction of the PlayStation 3 Slim. Microsoft claims the motives are a tad more philanthropic however.
New vouchers will apparently be available in stores globally by the end of this months and will be available in two denominations – 20 and 50 Euros. No UK or US prices were explicitly mentioned. Other notable additions to the PS3 accessories include the option to watch catch-up TV formats - in the UK this will include BBC iPlayer, while several other countries through Europe will get local equivalents (Spain, for instance, will be getting RTVe).

That new content will apparently include a new SingStar themed region from Sony itself, which seemed to be based around a disco aesthetic judging from the promo videos and which would include xbox 360 controller interactive dance floors and new events.New third-party regions will be headed to Home in the future soon by the looks of things – Audi is down to add a new car-based area to the online world by the end of the year, though details were few.
The most likely reason for the price changes are clearing things up for a new Natal bundle in the coming months, "As we continue to refine and make improvements on the internal components for the Xbox 360 cables and costs come down we pass those savings on to our customers in the form of price drops," said Microsoft's Aaron Greenburg in a press statement.
The fact that Microsoft's price cut coincides with Sony's announcement is a pure accident, claims Microsoft - who also rubbished rumours that an Xbox 360 accessories Slim was on the way.
