no all systems do now.

The Wii does not, but the PS3 does.

and both the ps3 and 360 don't include the HDMI cables in with the console. MS is apparently taking it out of the new Elite package.

Why No Xbox 360 Price Cut?

Quote:

Despite a persistent rumor that the Elite model of the Xbox 360 would be slashed to $299, MCV reports that the delayed price drop can be attributed to the number of existing Xbox 360 consoles currently in retail. Only once some of these consoles have been sold and the supply drops will Microsoft make its play to reduce the price and potentially roll out a new model that could replace the Pro model, which is being phased out. The PS3 Slim and price cut are certainly designed to goose sales of the platform, which consistently chart below the Xbox 360 and Wii. Perhaps Microsoft will take a wait-and-see approach here and determine if the new PS3 model and price jumpstart sales. If Sony moves up, Microsoft could feel forced to quickly retaliate with its own cut and/or new Xbox 360 model.

There won't be a new model until Natal, so they can forget that.

What's interesting, is the new Arcade model boxes show only two available models of 360s on the side... The Arcade and the Elite.

And there are no Elites I can find in retail anymore. Best Buy, Amazon, Gamestop all seem to be out of stock (at least of Jasper Elites).

'Cause I'm looking to buy an Elite, price drop or no.

Here is a picture of the new box, it's the one on the right... Notice the Pro is no longer listed:
