Phil112 Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Source: BBC Microsoft has cut the price of its Xbox 360 video game console in Europe. From 14th March, the 20 gigabyte hard drive model will cost 270 euros, a drop in price of 80 euros. In the UK, the entry level machine, which does not come with any hard drive, will cost £159.99, £40 less than the current price. The price drops mean that the versions of the console are now cheaper than both of its competitors - the Nintendo Wii and Sony's PlayStation 3 (PS3). ... About other conoles ... Microsoft said that the price of the entry level machine had been chosen because historically it was "the price point where a console's audience begins to expand". The Xbox 360 has been losing ground to both of its competitors recently, despite having launched earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cran. Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 (edited) Any word on an Australian price drop? Being as, we get the same PAL systems as the UK. Edited March 11, 2008 by Cran. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTA3Freak-2001 Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Any word on an Australian price drop? Being as, we get the same PAL systems as the UK. It would be nice to hope this EU price cut flows on to us but I doubt it, would be good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
