Next Round of Price Cuts

[davygee]

In the UK, the 360 prices are as follows:

• Xbox 360 Arcade - £189.99
• Xbox 360 Premium - £239.99
• Xbox 360 Premium 2 Games Pack - £259.99 (Forza 2, Viva Pinata & Extra Controller)
• Xbox 360 Halo Special Edition - £269.99 
• Xbox 360 Premium 3 Games Pack - £279.99 (Halo 3, Forza 2, Viva Pinata & Extra Controller)
• Xbox 360 Elite - £299.99

And with all these prices ranging from £190-£300, they still cannot sell more than the PS3 in Europe, when the basic 40Gb PS3 comes in around £279.99 - £299.99.  The best deal I can find is:

• 40Gb PS3 + Kyle & Lynch - £279.99

So I would suggest that Microsoft NEED to seriously reduce the price of all their models.  And I reckon a paultry $50 worth won't do it.  The 360 Arcade need to come down to under £150 (£149.99 should do).  The Premium should come in well below £200 and a 3 game pack with say Halo 3 and Forza 2 should be around £199.99.  The Elite is well over priced....yes it's got a 120Gb HDD, but no HD-DVD playback...so the Elite should be no more than £250 and should probably come with a few games for that.
