With no ending in sight to Microsoft's denials of any future Xbox 360 price cut, retailers from the United Kingdom decided to take matters into their own hands and offer their customers what Microsoft wouldn't: cheaper Xbox 360s. Way cheaper! As reported by several websites over the last couple of days, including Gamasutra, some UK retailers have initiated an unexpected, unseasonal, and unofficial series of price cuts for the Xbox 360, as well as for the old PlayStation 2.
In particular, the "Core" package of Microsoft's next-gen console is currently enjoying the most consistent promotions, with price cuts of up to £50 (€75 / $98). So instead of the suggested retail price of £199.99 ($390), the Core Xbox 360 is now being sold for £149.99 ($292) in some places. As a side-effect, this means that Microsoft's console is now actually cheaper than Nintendo's Wii, priced at £179.99 ($351), despite it packing way more computing power.

Coupled with the 3 million unit reduction in shipment figures (and only 3 million units sold in Europe after 15 months) things don't look so bright for the 360 over there.
Sales of X360's have slowed alot in the Uk.And there are trade-in's galore as gamer's trade up to PS3.
Wherever either of you are, there's going to be a pile of stinking sh*t.
Your inferior ps3 is underselling your old ps2 still, you did know that, right?
Go take a bath, b/c you both just plain stink.
really dj? how many has the ps3 sold? your so stupid and petty sometimes. It's amazing that the first two commenting on an xbox story are two blatant sony fans. Some of you on this website are so sad, you act like if sony or microsoft doesn't sell x amount of machines it's somehow directly going to affect you.
"That's just funny. Coupled with the 3 million unit reduction in shipment figures" no the fact that 360 is half the price of the PS3 over their is what's funny...oh and just so you know, lower prices means it's easier for people to buy them, people buy them and their sales go up, it's called business. Microsoft seems to be damn good at it too if their making money right now while Sony is losing what $200 a machine? DJ have you prayed to the Sony gods yet today? No? Oh, well guess you better go get down on your knees huh?
Oh yea almost forgot with this price you can almost buy three xbox 360 core machines for the price of one 60 GB ps3, wow what a bargain
