After canada, it's france now!169 euros for arcade and 219 euros for elite (except ff 13 bundle)... I think MS haven't choise, the 360's sells are very low in france. there is the same promotion in others countries of europe?

Private: commander sony has taken france we must retreat to the homeland (USA) and defend it
Commander: Damn Japs Alright boys lets move out before those kamakazi sons of b*tches come get us
Back At Sony HQ
Kaz Hari: Yes the invasion has begun No more will we take the cruelty of the 360 Now we must stand and FIGHT
Crowd: (shouts) PS3 is the Present and Future _B_E_L_I_E_V_E

jk IM SO FOR THE PS3

these aren't permanent price drops, they are sales. This happens from time to time, even for the ps3.

i think the 360 arcade is really cheap in the uk as well 130 pounds compared to the 270 pounds the ps3 120gig costs

I don't believe you. I bet you're not even from France!

what are you talking about?! this tempory price drop is real! scince this morning in all french retailers! go to see on website like "micromania.fr" or "fnac.fr" and you will see... "merci d'avance"

^ he was joking obviously...

I dunno if it has to do that French people are a little anti-american imperialism, whatever that means. So M$ is having problems selling their console over there.

Nice to see M$ attacking this week with their price-cuts, may be they have just started to clean the inventory for the new revision of the Slim.
