	According to GI, several websites are reporting that the Xbox360 SKUs in Europe are set to get a price drop this month. NDA agreements in place with leading retailers have taken effect, which prevents them from revealing the price drop that is supposedly set to happen just ahead of Easter this year. Around EUR 50 is expected to be slashed off the price of the Elite, Premium and Arcade units, according to techradar.com. Rumor mill for now. >Link

that would be nice for me.

CianMCL: Would be nice fore everyone. Especially if here in the US they did the same thing. Then We would see if Sony and Nintendo respond. I love price wars. The consumer wins in the end.

if it's 50 euros, I wonder if it would be the equivalent in dollars. what's the € to $ right now, like 2:1? so then maybe a $100 price drop here in the US? I've been wanting to upgrade to an elite for a while.

DM,

My sources have made it 100% clear that this will at least affect the Xbox 360 Arcade, and it will bring the system to a price lower than the Wii.

The unexpected strong sales of the Wii have caused Microsoft to abandon their strategy of keeping the Xbox 360 priced between the Wii and the PS3.

Now, the Xbox 360 Arcade will actually be priced lower than the Wii. That was the entire reason why Microsoft decided to release a unit without a hard drive. It targets people who didn't own the original Xbox who live in markets where high-speed Internet is not available. The Xbox 360 sales will increase BIGTIME in those markets with a nice price cut.

And if the price drop is by $100, the sales of all models will see a big increase in Europe.
