<p><img src="http://kotaku.com/assets/images/kotaku/2008/08/199sku.jpg" class="postimg center" style="display:block;"/>There it is (full size after the jump), according to VGChartz.com. (Thanks to eagle-eyed reader LoadedStatement). One of the site's members did a SKU inquiry on the 360 and got that screen, which shows the $199 price taking effect Sept. 7.</p> <p>This apparently shows the SKU for the no-hard drive Arcade model. <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://kotaku.com/5032062/more-xbox-360-price-cuts-coming-next-month">Other cuts are said to be coming</a> for the Pro (60GB, $299) and Elite (120GB, $399), a development <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://arstechnica.com/journals/thumbs.ars/2008/08/01/mole-attack-360-price-cuts-on-all-hardware-in-september">first reported by Ars Technica</a>.</p> <p>VGChartz follows the pic with a detailed analysis of what the new price points could mean for Microsoft, and the timing behind the price change. An excerpt:</p> <blockquote> <p>The scheduling of the drop is telling as well. It takes place 1 week after Square Enix's 'Infinite Undiscovery' and 2 weeks before Harmonix/EA's 'Rock Band 2' - both exclusive to the Xbox 360 platform at the time of release and pricedrop (obviously, Rock Band 2 will ship in November for the other platforms).</p> </blockquote> <p>The writer also peers into a crystal ball of sorts to guess at the production costs of the 360. Conclusion, down from $525 at launch to $140.15 to $182.19 today.</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://news.vgchartz.com/news.php?id=1618">VGC Exclusive: Xbox 360 to Cut Arcade Prices to $199.99 on Sept. 7th</a> [VGChartz.com, thanks Loaded Statement]</p> <br style="clear:both;"/> <img alt="" style="border:0;height:1px;width:1px;" border="0" src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?i=7c1766b6a61d2ecbf8b2874cc8663e1e" height="1" width="1"/>
