Rumors about Microsoft planning an Xbox 360 price drop spread like crazy after word got out that the PlayStation 3 would be the priciest system on the market. The way rumor mongers saw it, a slashing of the 360's price would mean Microsoft could lock up the next-gen console war with a cheaper alternative.

It never happened.

After the price-cut rumors died down, new rumors of a more-bang-for-your-buck bundle began to make the rounds. The alleged bundle included an Xbox 360 Pro pack, a copy of Project Gotham Racing 3, 1,250 Xbox Live Marketplace points, and a three-month subscription to Xbox Live Gold for the same price the current Xbox 360 Pro pack is selling for.

Further evidence came to light last week, when a Canadian retailer began accepting preorders for a PGR3 bundle. When the rumor first sprang up, the new 360 pack was scheduled to kick off on August 1.
