Anybody understand Spanish? According to a number of sources, and the rather dodgy Google translator, this Spanish forum claims that they have it on good knowledge (a Microsoft employee) that Microsoft will be implementing a number of interesting changes to the Xbox 360 and its pricing.

The information, though, should be taken with a pinch of salt.

# Xbox 360 Premium Pack price is going to drop $100 in October.
#Xbox 360 Core Pack price is going to drop $80 in October.


This is a big price drop, but it's feasible - I think I paid £300 for my original Xbox, and then, a few months later, they were retailing at £220.

#Gears of War is going to be released the last week of October with an huge marketing campaign at global scale.
#HD-DVD add-on for September, you can connect to the USB 2.0 port. It is going to be priced at $100
#New Hard Drive with 100GB of storage, price and date not specified.
#Webcam "My Eye on you", for the month of September with a price of $50 without game and $75 with a game.
#Xbox Backward compatibility list is going to be updated in June with 50 new titles
#Extension of the bandwidth for the Xbox live servers.
#At E3 we are going to see the first videos of Halo 3, which will be released in March 2007.
#Possibility of an "urban game" that could be GTA. Microsoft is working on it and this isn´t a joke.
#A possible price drop in Xbox Live Gold or it is going to be free because they are going to get money with promotional advices.
#From the next month of October they will change some records in some games for "MSpoints".
#Paramount Pictures and Microsoft have announced an agreement where Paramount is going to provide HD content to Xbox Live.
#NBC has signed with Microsoft for the possibility of watching online tournaments live.
#Alliance between Epic and Microsoft for exclusive content in Xbox Live.
#Creation of a Dashboard for kids.
#A new service in June: Download and play.
#Rare was working on Kameo 2 before the release of Kameo.Will it arrive sooner than expected?.
#MS is working on an upgraded friend list ( 200 contacts)
#Virtual Console with Sega games before the next month of October
#A spectacular upgrade in the number of Xbox Live Arcade games in the next months.
#New look for Dashboard.

Most of these idea have been bandied about at one point or another, but we'll never know the truth until Microsoft tell us - they never comment on on rumours.
