MCV Staff 18th July 2007 Business News

A host of UK retailers including the likes of GAME, Play and HMV have priced Microsoft’s Xbox 360 Elite – and all agree that the machine will launch for 329.99.

Due to arrive on August 24th, the revised console offers a 100GB hard drive size increase, an additional HDMI video out port and some extra video-on-demand related functionality. If the price is correct, the machine will cost 50 more than Microsoft’s current 360 Premium console and 130 more than the Core machine.

In other hardware news, Sony’s new European PS3 bundle has arrived in the UK – offering two Sixaxis controllers and two additional games from Sony’s first-party offering.

Many retailers, such as Play and Amazon, have already cut the price of the bundle to sub-400, and have even thrown in a free HDMI cable.
