Rumor: Xbox 360 to get 50 Euro price cut March 14

What is this bloody Halo 3 craze I keep hearing about? Oh, only 250 euro you say? I guess Ill give it a go, screw rugby!

Lol, Halo 3? Doubt it, over here its all about GTA GTA GTA, since the launch of halo, all convo relating to it over here has silenced, even Halo 2 convo lasted far longer and Halo 1 of course much further.

GTA ftw, if this is for the GTA launch, good on Micro, clap clap, lucky devils who pay less then I did ¬_¬

I already had my heart set on a PS3, but this could change that.

Its still a rumour, lets just see what happens.

Won't help much in Europe.

Europe sales are in the slump they need a price cut but that it's not enough. Playstation marketing its 10 times more than Xbox, they seem to focus on UK only they need to bet in every country in Europe to hope to stay competitive with PS3

Without a built in bluray drive and with the amount of problems those 360's have I don't feel that the premium is worth more than $200 anymore. $380 is just plain taking it up the arse to me.

well, however, the real OFFICIAL pricetags for the 360 and ps3 in europe are:

Xbox360 Premium (20Gb): 349 Euro
Xbox360 Core (Arcade): 279 Euro
Xbox360 Elite (120Gb): 449 Euro

PS3 40Gb: 399 Euro

another sign of desperation on the part of M$...

they realise PS3 has been outselling 360 worldwide consecutively for the last 14 weeks and is right behind their 17.7 million units at 10.5 million units.

this fall PS3 will probably get a $100 price cut and a slimmer redesign. by next year, PS3 will have outsold 360 worldwide.

M$ you did better this round, but it was still not good enough. you are still not a black belt, and Kutaragi already KO'd M$ when he announced plans to develop Cell way back in 2000.

now M$ is trying to play catchup for Xbox 720 by trying to design a Cell-like clone. they have opened up "The Computer Architecture Group" to start their own chip design division. they've even patented a blatant ripoff of the Cell's distributed computing ability, no doubt a feature that will be standard for PS4 and Xbox 720.

Cell is all about cutting game production costs and getting the most bang out of the buck aka most performance out of the hardware architecture. however it will take developers a whole generation of Cell programming experience in order to experience the benefits. you're going to see developers struggle with Xbox 720 similarly to the way they have been struggling with PS3 programming. but PS4 programming will be produce photorealistic graphics and life-like simulations that will be both cost effective for developers and quick to create, thanks to Cell. once the Cell architecture becomes as familiar as the x86 architecture, its game over for M$.

I'm pretty sure that I went mental for halo 3. It's still played in my house (co-op, LAN, Online) basically, its the sex

wii60 ftw

No surprise there... they are getting their ass handed to them by Wii and PS3 in terms of sales week after week. A matter of a fact, the only region 360 is doing well sales wise in in USA... but that trend is starting to stop as PS3 (no need for me to even mention Wii since its killing the other two combine) starts to out sell it in the US.

Don't really care for 360 prices going down, since I have a PC, but if it's able to bring Wii prices down that'd be nice.

Since it already happened in Canada it is almost guaranteed to happen in Europe. But the really funny thing is an Arcade 360 would cost less the a Wii, HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA........

360 is dead on Europe, a 50Euro price cut ain't gonna change anything.

The relaibility issues and DVD drive killed it's credability a long time ago.

Please no replies from American Xbots who have no idea of the 360's European status..

You got Euro prices from Amazon UK?

In Australia, the 360 is already cheaper than the Wii

Wii: $399
360 arcade: $339
