UK Xbox price cuts confirmed

UK consumers will be able to pick up an Xbox 360 console from just 129.99 after Microsoft confirmed its latest round of price cuts this morning.

From Friday September 19th Microsoft’s console line-up will be tweaked to offer the entry-level Arcade SKU at 129.99, standard console with 60GB hard drive for 169.99 and the Xbox 360 Elite, which comes with a 120GB hard drive, for 229.99.

Xbox 360 has now sold over 20 million consoles worldwide and due to its unprecedented success, we are now able to pass on the rewards of that success to the consumer with a new retail pricing from 129.99,” said senior regional director of Microsoft UK Neil Thompson.

With more games, more entertainment with Xbox LIVE and now even more value, we are looking forward to welcoming more customers into the leading next generation console, Xbox 360.”
