DrunknMunky Veteran Posted August 26, 2009 Veteran Share Posted August 26, 2009 (edited) Ok so I'm on my iPhone right but wanted to share the news with neowin first. My informer doesn't want to be named obv but this isn't one of those Leipzig rumours on the train, he's never let me down yet. Anyway so to combat the PS3 Slim in the UK, MS are dropping the price of the Elite to ?200 and bundling 2 games: Fight Night Round 4 and Tiger 2010. It's not the new Elite with wireless ...yet. Happens on Friday:)) *games might vary with region but it's definitely 2. Edited August 27, 2009 by DrunknMunky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted August 26, 2009 Subscriber² Share Posted August 26, 2009 but this isn't one of those Leipzig rumours on the train On the bus? Is this throughout the whole nation or select retail? Sounds good anyway, MS have to make moves to combat the Slim price drop. edit: http://www.vg247.com/2009/08/26/360-price-...orders-stemmed/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Livin in a box Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 my reliable source told me that it would be ?170 without gamesi also got confirmation that there will be a ?200 - ?210 mw2 package (price to be finalised) me n ya boy bill go waaaaay bac;) ;) My source said it would come with every 360 game for ?300. It's not the new Elite with wireless ...yet. So it will happen soon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunknMunky Veteran Posted August 26, 2009 Author Veteran Share Posted August 26, 2009 That bit wasn't actually provided to me by the source, but I imagine it will be the case once old stock has been sold and the new Elite makes it's way onto shelves. Just seems like the next logical step. Also, this price drop will be all over the country from different retailers. The games bundled will no doubt be different, but the price is the same. He/She thinks that there will also be a 4 game bundle for a little extra (still under ?250), will have confirmation on that tomorrow. The OP deal is for GAME btw. Shame I didn't get the news online first, but I was close. I had the details on price and games bundled first though:pp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pheee Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Well it happened. Starting Friday 28th august. $100 off the Elite, and the Pro is dissapearing so $50 off while stocks last. USA only so far. source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
furyshinobi Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 That's good news for Xbox 360 owners in the US but how about the rest of the world? IMO MS should do a global price cut not just in the US but for everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inctye Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Not surprising. Ms knew it had the upper hand against Sony all along, so they have been waiting for Sony to issue the price drop first before following suit. It's only a matter of time before the rest of the world gets their price drop as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pheee Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 I have not seen offical confirmation yet from MS about global. but dont be surprised I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elconquistador Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 The Elite is dropping to 250 euro's, effective tomorrow, in the Netherlands and I'm guessing the rest of Europe as well. An online games retailer just confirmed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
