It might have a lot to do with another price drop

£289 -> £229

yeah this seems to be one major factor, though not as good as the £199 deal 3 weeks ago. On the other hand I could imagine that Amazon has more online customers than ASDA.

Amazon has probably around 10% marketshare in the UK (purely guessed), so yeah the overall change most likely won't be as high. Maybe doubling the UK sales to ~3.5-4k.
Don't think that it will reach PS3 or 360 levels.

Did that £199 Amazon cut impact sales? I didn't check at the time. I personally picked one up at the HMV £199 sale thinking it wouldn't get that low again for months, but I was completely wrong.
