Xbox360 and probably at least 3 games for £200? I'm sold =)
MS are right in that I think this is where they will start to get some volume sales..I have not bought one yet due to the cost (talking £250 really for the console + a bunch of games and a second controller) but that £30 or so drop makes the difference. Should fit in rather nicely alongside my wii :)
Now if only some retailers would drop prices a few days early to save me the wait...*hint to scan*
Also worth noting that these are Microsoft's list prices. For as long as I can remember, a selection of online retailers (Play.com for example) have offered the Xbox 360 consoles for £10 less than list.
So, I'm guessing £119.99 for the Arcade and £159.99 for the standard model in a few weeks time.

I got a copy of it from the head of the UK xbox guy first thing this morning fyi :)
This does make it silly not to get one. Although just having bought an HDTV I'm not in the market for one this year. Maybe January, in time for the next price drop. :)
2nd 360 here i come, one for the lounge one for the bedroom, gaming need never stop!
Trouble is all your save games will be on one console - unless you use a memory stick. Not a bad idea though!Quote:
