There is no way that that this doesn't happen relatively soon. Also, what do you think will be the price point?

Tomorrow at 10am (GMT) My guess is Elite at $299 and no change for the arcade..but possibly some new bundles.

how much can they cut? thier hardrive isnt the same as ps3 ones, they are more expensive.

elite is $299 same price as ps3 now, so i guess they will knock it back to $249

...not much time to post anymore, used to be awesome on here really good fond memories from VGchartz...

This is what I think they will do. Being the same price would not steal very much of Sony's thunder.

Xbox 360 Elite Console (120 GB Hard Drive)

Platform: XBox 360 | Category: Consoles | Release Date: 24/08/2007

RRP: £229.99 | Our Lowest Price: £209.99

Im on my fourth console now, after the consoles keep breaking down on me, The hardware for this product is very poor manufacturing, at sometime you will get the 3 red light which means you cannot use your console at all cos it wont turn on. Even though it is Microsoft fault dint expect a free fix...

Xbox 360 Console core

Platform: XBox 360 | Category: Consoles | Release Date: 15/08/2008

RRP: £169.99 | Our Lowest Price: £159.89

This console is so good. Ive had it for about 6 months, had no problems and the online gaming is so amazing!! I reccomend this console to anyone who enjoys gaming, and for value for money it easily tops the ps3 which some of my friends have. Even they are considering swapping for an xbox 360....

these are the new prices in the uk.^

http://www.find-games.co.uk/search.aspx?title=120+GB+Hard+Drive&platform=

so its £159 vs £209

they have only just increases arcade price with zero games to £159, so its anyones guess how much they can drop the elite to, possibly £199

sorry updated xbox 360 core details

It has nothing to do with being worried. It's all about competition.

so for an extra £50 ps3 comes with blueray player free online and free vidzone.

but realisticly i can see ps3 and 360 neck and neck this fall because of the cheaper arcade.

They'll wait and see what type of effect the drop has on the PS3 sales. They can't seem too reactionary.

Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?
