The UK arm of Microsoft has poured cold water on speculation that it will reduce the RRP of the Xbox 360 in the lead up to the Christmas shopping season.

On Monday it was revealed that the North American arm of Xbox is going to slash $50 off both the 4GB and 250GB versions of the seven year-old console.

Off the back of opportunistic discounts of the PS3 across retail in the UK, due in part to the new 'Super Slim' model, eyes turned to Microsoft to see if the company would cut its prices.

But the company explained to MCV its full list of Xbox SKUs available this Christmas; none of which showed a standalone discount on the hardware.

Offers available include:

• 250GB Christmas Value bundle inc. Skyrim and Forza 4 - £199

• 250 Kinect Holiday bundle including Kinect, Kinect Adventures, Dance Central 2 and Kinect Sports - £299

• 4GB Kinect Holiday Value bundle including Kinect, Kinect Adventures and Kinect Disneyland - £249

• 4GB Kinect and Nike+ Kinect Training bundle - £269

• 320GB Halo 4 Limited Edition console - £269

• 4GB White Gloss bundle - £149

aw, too bad. NA boost will just have to do.

So Price Cut WW but not in Europe.

Wait, when they announce no price-cut that means that a price-cut is coming right?

the uk and europe sounds fun^^ as if uk would be in asia or something. and uk is more 360 than ps3

Wii U will probably dominate sales this holiday, no matter what they do.

Why would they reduce their profits ?

Sony will be dumb if they do not come out with more bundles. Bundles are the reason the 360 does so well in the US during the holidays because they are great values. Sony needs to get there act together in the US which is where sony really needs sales to be able to beat the 360 this christmas. And sony needs a standalone 250GB and 500GB super slim for $230 and $270 respectively plus all the bundles or something along those lines. But good job for MS at putting out a shit ton of bundles.
