    no idea, guess in about 6 months time just before halo 3 and the ps3 comes out. I reckon maybe a £40-50 price cut and a special Halo 3 bundle with special faceplate or something?

    Halo 3 is not out until next year. We should see a price drop around Nov to coincide with the release of the PS3, its also been said by MS that they won't reduce the price for at least a year so Nov is perfect timing.

    MS don't really need to drop the price - given the cost of the PS3, they'll still be cheaper, and MS can't compete with Wii on price

    Price cut will be when PS3 comes out if they decide they need to considering the PS3 large price tag.

    um... where'd that figure come from? nintendo are expected to announce a $250 price, which will place it well under £200 after conversion to quid. personally, i'm expecting something even lower.

    If anything i wouldn't be too surprised if it comes in at £150. We are not paying for cutting edge technology unlike PS3/360 so the cost to Nintendo should be pretty low. GC came in at £130 with Nintendo in profit by the time they released it into europe.

    i would add about 50 quid onto the 320 for the PS3 (esp. if you take the 600 euro statement at face value). The 360 should go down in late autumn/christmas i would have thought (poss. in the summer)

    But the 360 was $400 in America. And that did not convert into £ equally considering that the 360 was £280.
