Amazon Reveals New Xbox 360 SKU Briefly

For a brief while, both Amazon and Toys 'R' Us listed the yet-to-be-announced Xbox 360 Arcade console on their websites.

Retailing for $279.99, Xbox 360 Arcade should be available starting from 23 October 2007. The new model, expected to replace Xbox 360 Core, would be packaged with a 256MB memory card instead of a hard disk drive. Five free Xbox Live Arcade games are bundled with Core successor, but rumors have it that Xbox 360 Premium and Elite models may also soon be bundled with Forza Motorsport 2 and Marvel: Ultimate Alliance.

Microsoft doesn't sell 256MB Xbox 360 Memory Card, but a 64MB one retails for $29.99 and a 512MB for $49.99.
