UK gets Xbox 360 price cut this Friday, Elite priced |
Ó
Microsoft may have said weeks ago that there were no plans to grant UK an Xbox 360 price cut, but now they finally announced that UK is going to get some loving, too. Starting on August 24 (that's a Friday), the Xbox 360 Premium's price will be reduced to GBP 249.99 (US$ 496.69).
Likewise, the Core pack will get a new trimmed price of GBP 179.99 (or US$ 357.61). That's a savings of 30 and 20 GBP, respectively. It's great that UK will also get the price cut that U.S. gamers are already enjoying.
That's not all, however. Microsoft also announced that the Elite will fetch a price of GBP 299.99 (US$ 595.92), including a 120GB hard drive as well as an HDMI port. Xbox UK Head of Gaming and Entertainment Stephen McGill had this to say:
We're pleased to be able to offer Xbox 360 at a new, lower estimated retail price. We pioneered the successful concept of multiple products for multiple categories of consumer... The Xbox 360 opens up whole new avenues of entertainment for those who seek the ultimate gaming and entertainment experience
With the Elite launching on August 24 alongside the Xbox 360 price cuts, this coming Friday will be a happy day indeed for UK Xbox 360 fans.

Great price for the Elite, Im getting one hopefully on launch day with Bioshock, looks like the core is now priced to compete with the Wii to. Good price moves by MS.
