Xbox 360 Elite Price Drop

While the Xbox 360 Elite sees a price drop, the Xbox 360 Arcade will jump in price by £20, from £139.99 to £159.99. This is in stark contrast to the US, where the Arcade model has remained at its previous price point of $199.99.

 

Questioned about the matter, Microsoft responded: "We have not made upward adjustments to the trade price of consoles before. A modest increase on the trade price of Xbox 360 Arcade consoles [in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa]allows us to offset exchange rate fluctuations and changes in local market conditions while still offering the most affordable console on the market."

 

The Xbox 360 Pro bundle, which included a 60GB hard drive, will now be discontinued, leaving just the Elite and Arcade models going forward.

Yippie for price cuts! I was hoping that they would drop the price of the cheaper xbox that only comes with the xbox and a controller because mine's fucked.
