This just in! Read all about! More news about the Xbox 360 price cuts have just come in. According to the Joystiq blog, an insider from the Microsoft marketing department, Microsoft plans to use the Xbox 360 Arcade Bundle as a direct competitor to the Nintendo Wii. The Microsoft marketing department plans to market the Xbox 360 Arcade with more family-friendly entertainment in order to catch up to the Wii. The Arcade bundle will come with traditional Arcade essentials such as a 512MB memory card, a motion controller, and a few montioned controlled games developed by Rare. Expect the Xbox 360 Arcade bundle to come out around the holiday season of 2008. The arcade bundle is expected to have a retail price tag of $199.

As far as the newly mentioned motion controller, it is compatible with all Xbox 360 models and will be sold seperately. With this new motion controller, we should also expect new games for the Xbox 360 that will utilize the new motion controller. Stay tuned!
