Rumor: More Sources Suggest EU Price Drop Tomorrow
Posted by XanTium | March 9 19:43 EST | News Category: Xbox360
 
From gizmodo.com:
[QUOTE]
The Financial Times Germany has published a story saying Microsoft will be knocking down the Xbox 360 price on Monday (03/10/08.) The price cuts are to take place across Europe and will supposedly see the Xbox 360 Arcade dropped from €280 ($432) to €199 ($307), while the Xbox 360 Pro will apparently be slashed to €299 ($461) from €349 ($538.)

1€ = £0.76
Arcade = €199 = £151.60 = maybe £149.99 in the shops?
Pro = €349 = £189.68 = maybe £189.99 in the shops?

I was expecting the Arcade to drop a little lower to around £130-£140

Yeah that would've been nice - I'm looking for a super cheap core/arcade pack in about a month or two - still any price cut it better than no price cut!

BTW - don't spose you're the same Sabbath that I buy ROL mods from off eBay are ya?

Arcade £169

The elite is the model that needs the price drop at £300 its not good when lot of ps3 gt5 pack is going to be same price but any price drop is better then none.

At the moment on hotukdeals, someone posted that amazon had the premium on sale for £190. £11 more than a wii for a way better system.

Yep tongue.gif , I should have written €299 not €349 and its roughly £227.78 not £189.68. It was way past my bed time when I was checking out the conversions so I don't know what the hell I was doing there.

Even though I was wrong looks like I was pretty much right anyway. New RRP from Microsoft for the Pro is now £199.99 and most retailers like Amazon will sell for £189.99 or less. Same goes for the Arcade, new RRP is £159.99 Amazon selling for £149.99.

You guys are still paying too much. In the US it cost $350 and some whine about it. Is it that Europe (including mother Spain) have better paying jobs? Or what?

350 U.S. dollars = 227.52389 Euros

Hmmm.. seems Amazon have gone back to their original prices again. The official price drop is going to be on Friday the 14th of March apparently.

According to Major Nelson's Blog, prices are as follows:

QUOTE
Xbox 360 Premium - €269.99 / £199.99
Xbox 360 Elite - €369.99 / £259.99
Xbox 360 Arcade – €199.99 / £159.99



In comparison:

US Prices

Xbox 360 Premium - $349.99 / £173.98
Xbox 360 Elite - $449.99 / £223.70
Xbox 360 Arcade - $279.99 / £139.19

So you're still cheaper in the US - this doesn't even take into account that accessories in EU are more expensive. That's even before we get onto the games and Xbox Live subscription and DLC.

MS - how about bringing us in line with the US with everything else?
