PostUK/EU 360 Price Cuts Confirmed - page 6.

CONFIRMED BY PETER CRISP....

Arcade = £130
Premium 60gb = £170
Elite = £230

Not bad at all for the new premium.



We received the following image from a supposed Woolworths 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.

I have two friends on the verge of 'jumping in', this price cut might seal the deal. Hopefully it turns out to be true.

Also of note, it's only £3, but you should be able to get PC world to pricematch +10% of the difference.

Doesn't the 60gb model have 65nm chips?

My 60gb is significantly quieter & cooler than my old 20gb model but that's probably due to the new BenQ disc drive.

Woolworths told MCV in a statement:

"The Christmas 2008 Woolworths Big Red Book is not released until the first week of October and, until that date, remains a confidential document.

"There are several draft editions in existence, with prices, products and descriptions varying dependent on the draft.

"Woolworths will not comment directly on the speculation that has appeared on various gaming websites as it is commercially sensitive information."

Could one of you Woolies employees not text someone who's at work now and get the low down?

We NEED to know NOW, this is BIG news.
