Rumor: Xbox 360 UK Price Cut This Month
MCV's source could only specify the cut for the Arcade version of the hardware, which will reduce the hardware's current cost of £199 to around £170, to make the system more competitive with—and possibly cheaper than—Nintendo's Wii console.
By way of corroboration, TechRadar reported a similar story, claiming that numerous retailers have indicated a price cut of 50 euros off every hardware version of the Xbox 360 across Europe. Sources say that the cut is scheduled for enactment on March 14.
The rumors follow an Xbox 360 price cut in Canada late last month, which saw prices for the Premium and Elite editions of the console CAD$50 cheaper, and the Arcade version reduced by CAD$20.

replySo when do the cuts come to the States? I've put off buying an xbox360 forever cause I want a price drop (and less returns.)

it's much more expensive overseas because of the exchange rates. I wouldn't expect a price cut here necessarily. Though it would be nice.

could be that the international hardware is finally coming down to reflect american prices. i know in canada, because our dollar is now just about equal with ours we pay say 49.99 for bully where you guys pay 49.99 as well where it used to be and extra 10 dollars (if you think about it, our dollar is a little less than yours by a couple cents so technically it's a tiny bit cheaper for you to buy it in canada now :D). anyways back on point, hardware didn't ever seem to go down to match american pricing. this might have been the result of this.. not 100% since i didn't look at the price drop.
