Comment: Has Microsoft increased all Xbox 360 prices in the UK?

GZ: A closer look at Microsoft's Xbox 360 price cut announcements may unearth the reality that there's actually been a price increase.

Today Microsoft announced a price-cut on the Xbox 360 Elite to £199/EUR249 and a price increase for the Arcade model to £159/EUR199 in the UK and Europe. The 60GB Pro model is to be discontinued.

We've already touched upon Microsoft's increase of the Arcade price from £129 to £159, which the company has explained will "offset currency exchange rate fluctuations which have impacted us in local market conditions." That price increase is transparently obvious, but a price increase could be seen elsewhere.

Yup UK has been done over.

PLAYINB3YOND5508d ago

Its not the first time we've got done over for having a stronger currency than the US, its happened before.

techie5508d ago

Course not...BUT - this is in comparison to previous UK prices. So it's an increase even when forgetting about the US. Which doesn't make sense to me.

Oh and BTW I'm expecting great bundles.

techie5508d ago

We better get amazing bundles = or else!

A price increase you say!

Surely MS can keep the price as it is and soak up the exchange rate issues itself for a while - they are still making billions rite?

Dont think ive ever known of a piece of gaming equipment to go up in price by this amount - or any t.v, home entertainment electronic.

It's definitely a first. Blame the economy?

force unleashed is a great game. Thankfully the 360 version is bc on the XBO/Series. It looks and plays even better than on original hardware.

A true classic. Recently I was experimenting with injecting ray tracing into this game using nvidia’s SSRTGI. The results were pretty slick!
