Does the UK have anything similar to black Friday (a day or time of the year that retailers simulations have massive sales)?

No but it all starts to build up after Bonfire Night (5th November) which tends to be when shops start putting christmas stuff out

I just hope this is a reliable source, since they just posted their infallible "research" based on SEARCH RESULTS.

Ukner?

I actually don't mind the sound of that.

PS: Something is wrong, this thread involves the UK and it hasn't turned into an Anglo-Scottish war.

This is great news for people in Europe, any of whom buy game stuff from the UK anyway because it is often less expensive. Well, now it is quite a bit less expensive.

This should put Xbox 360 is a solid 2nd place in the home console race for the holiday season.

Why are these retailers so desperate to dump X360 stock, that they would (probably) take a loss to rid themselves of it?

Hoping to make it back on software, I guess? Over-ordered for the holidays, just trying to clear stock?
