Xbox 360 price drop and other X-rumors

Xbox 360 rumors

An Xbox 360 premium bundle for $299 to compete with the PS3 launch? Gears of War at the end of October? Exchanging game achievements for Microsoft Points? César A. Berardini at TeamXbox has translated these and many other interesting Xbox rumors from Spanish game sites Los Troyanos and MeriStation.

On the Xbox Live front, there is speculation that the Gold membership will either drop in price or become free with advertisements, in addition to an expanded Friends list that allows for up to 200 gaming buddies. If backward compatibility gossip is accurate, we will see the list of supported Xbox titles grow by 50 in June. There is also talk of a new 360 dashboard interface for children, which would be consistent with recent reports of Microsoft looking to enhance their family image.

Which rumors do you believe?
