UK retailer Woolworths (not to be confused with the defunct US five and dime store) allegedly published a price cut for the Xbox 360 in the company's Christmas catalog, which officially releases in a couple weeks. Scans of the holiday booklet apparently show that each of Microsoft's consoles will receive a £30 cut, reducing the Arcade to £130, Pro to £170 and Elite to £230.
Woolworths would not confirm the information to GI.biz, stating that "The Christmas 2008 Woolworths Big Red Book" will release the first week of October and, "until that date, remains a confidential document."

That's an unprecedentedly low console price here in the UK for something that is still pretty current technology.
This is going to tempt a lot of parents over Christmas.

My brother got his 360, with hard drive, from Woolworths for £150 around the same time GTA4 flopped. I guess that was that was just a promotion, though.

Ordeith, are you honestly telling us you think GTAIV flopped?

Those prices are approaching the point where I would consider it as my second console this gen. I enjoy my PS3 firstly, but there are some 360 exclusives that would be fun. Maybe a bit longer though, I think the upcoming game glut is going to hurt my pocket.
