Read the entire article here.

From Friday, the Arcade unit (which doesn't have a hard drive) will cost GBP 129.99 / EUR 179.

The 60GB model is also 30 quid cheaper at GBP 169.99 / EUR 239.99. The 120 GB Xbox 360 Elite will now cost GBP 229.99 / 299.99.

"We're proud to be expanding the reach of Xbox as the first next-generation console to break the EUR 200 / GBP 150 barrier, making the platform up to EUR 200 / GBP 170 less expensive than competitors," said European Xboxman Chris Lewis.

He also goes on to babble how awesome the 360 really is, but I'll spare you.

I'm officially a huge step closer to getting myself one of these. :D

He will if he gets addicted to points or starts playing Burnout Paradise on Sundays.

Just a side note, technically posts that are only in a foreign language are against the ToU. Granted, I can understand what you all are saying, and the context is appropriate given the subject...just a mild verbal note here.

At that price I'm really hoping I can pick one up, if I wasn't already over drawn I would definately pick one up (oh the life of a poor student). It's a great time to pick up the console especially with games like Fable II & Gears of War 2 around the corner. I'm curious if Sony sees itself losing ground as to whether they will have to follow suit as I recall some retailers claiming sales were up even by 100% in the US following the price cut. It will be interesting to see how Europe reacts.

Bah! Screw the haters. I've had a lot of fun with Burnout Paradise, I don't think it is anywhere near as bad as you paint it to be. The game is a little repetitive, and it takes too long to progress from one license to the next, but the core game is very fun.

It's not..... as long as you're willing to accept the fact that even though it says Burnout on the box, it isn't Burnout. It isn't Burnout in the same way that a filet mignon marinated in crap wouldn't be a delicious steak any longer, even though technically it would be. It's still very playable, just pooped up somewhat.

Those are some damn fine prices. Seems like a great time to pick one up. Tons of great games already available with a large selection of discounted titles now and alot of great titles soon to be released in the next few months and many on the horizon.
