UK price drop!
the New news just in is that Xbox's price in the UK is set to drop to just £129.00 thats the same as Gamecube (at full price). It is unknow if this will go for the rest of the EU as well.
Quote:
In an incredibly aggressive move that will really put the pressure on Nintendo's Gamecube, Microsoft look set to reduce the price of the Xbox in the UK to £130 from Friday.
Although Microsoft have yet to officially confirm the price drop, retail sources have indicated that it will be possible to pick up an Xbox for the same price as a Cube from the end of the week.
To coincide with this, Xbox bundles are also said to be dropping in price, with the Sega pack (which includes Sega GT and Jet Set Radio Future) weighing in at £150 while a new bundle featuring Halo and Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance will be on sale for £170 - the same price as a standalone PlayStation 2.
When Xbox was launched in the UK in March 2002, it initially retailed at a whopping £300.
