MS denies 360 price cut event
Monday 15-Sep-2008 5:01 PM No European price cut news next week, says Microsoft
Microsoft has rubbished rumours that an event will be held next week to announce a European price cut for the Xbox 360.
A picture of a supposed upcoming Woolworths catalog emerged last week, listing new 360 price points at £129, £169 and £229 for the Arcade, Core and Elite console respectively.
According to a report on site Gamer.tm these prices are real, and will be rolled out at a "European event" next week. Not so, says Microsoft UK.
"There is no European event next week," a company spokesperson told CVG, denying the report.
Even so, prices of the North American and Japanese Core, Arcade and Elite Xbox 360 consoles have already been slashed, so Europe is hotly tipped to receive a similar slash in the near future. It might not happen next week, but we'd bet our seats it'll happen shortly down the line.
We'll keep you posted.
