Last week we reported that analyst Jesse Divnich had said he strongly expects either a price cut or a model introduction of the Microsoft Xbox 360 before or at the E3 event.
According to new sources, it appears Divnich will be right and there will be a new model introduced at E3. If the claims are to be believed, the oft-rumored 60GB Xbox 360 Pro will emerge and replace the 20GB HDD model when it begins shipping in August.
It was unclear whether there would be a price cut as well or the addition of more HDD capacity for other 360 models.

Jesse Divnich, an expert analyst from the firm EEDAR, has said that a Microsoft Xbox 360 price cut, or maybe a model introduction, will happen before or at the E3 event next month.
Without citing any specific sources, Divnich says he is “very confident” a price cut is coming, or perhaps the introduction of a new version. Blu-ray model anyone?
It is unclear how drastic the price cut will be, if it comes, especially as Microsoft currently sells its Arcade version for $280 and Elite model at $450, both priced to compete with rivals Nintendo Wii and Sony PlayStation 3 which sell for $250 and $400 (for cheapest model) respectively.
Divnich continued on by saying that the newly released blockbuster Metal Gear Solid 4 should be a catalyst for PS3 sales due to its exclusive nature and he expects a high attach rate.
