Big Xbox 360 price cut coming to Europe? Xbox 360 Arcade as low as £130

[Zeus]

A Woolworths employee has reportedly leaked an upcoming retail catalog which indicates that the price of Xbox 360 SKUs in UK (or at least in Woolworths) are set to go seriously low. The Xbox 360 Arcade will go down to £130 (instead of £160), the premium will be £170 (instead of £200) and the Elite will be £230 instead of £260.

We received the image above from a supposed Woolworth's employee who scanned an upcoming retail catalog for our sicko pleasures. We can't verify the claim, but we understand that Woolies is in the midst of an escalating, retail price war in the UK gaming space. As such, what we're likely looking at are promotional cuts from the normal, £160, £200, £260 prices for the Arcade, Premium, and Xbox 360 Elite consoles, respectively. Then again, the across the board price cuts in the US seem to have really paid off so who knows.

This is just a limited woolies promotion, they recently did the same with the Wii.

good offer lets hope all the defective falcons get soldout so microsoft starts shipping the new JASPER motherboard.

Now.. If I saw the $ in front of it I would have been really happy lol
but thats still $260 for the arcade jees

This is how much the US consoles should cost. The Arcade would obliterate the wii at 130$.

C'mon M$ cut the Arcade to £100.00 and chuck in a copy of GTA4 or 2/3 other choices. Obliterate the PoS3 in Europe once and for all.

But it's the UK we always pay more and the price point of £130 is very intresting.

We are used to paying over the top, not that i agree with it but i see more value in a 360 at £130 than a Wii at £180.

I agree cubehacker, but you must feel the same as me, it's a good price (even though we pay more)
