Today Microsoft announced that the prices for their Xbox 360 consoles in Europe will drop.
The Arcade pack will have a recommended retail price of £159.99 (down £ 40), the Premium pack will be £199.99 (down £ 60), and the Elite £259.99 (down £40). Seems like the Premium will have the biggest price cut. These new prices go into effect on Friday March 14th 2008.
Microsoft said the price cut is business as usual, but one has to wonder if the success the PS3 has had of late is a major factor in their decision, and claimed the Xbox 360 is the biggest selling console in Europe.

why no US price drop?
I have a PS3 don’t really like it and want an xbox 360

If you factor in the Value of the Dollar, it’s still cheaper to buy one in the US than it is in the UK.
