Small Price Cut for Xbox 360 in the UK

Announced recently was that the Xbox 360 will receive a small official price cut in the UK as of this Friday 24th August. The cut coincides with the release of the Xbox 360 "Elite" and two anticipated games (Bioshock and Blue Dragon). The new "Elite" will retail for 299.99 GBP (441 EUR), the Premium for 249.99 GBP (30 GBP cut) and the Core for 179.99 GBP (20 GBP cut). The extra 50 GBP for the "Elite" gets you a 120GB hard drive instead of the Premium systems 20GB as-well as a HDMI port and comes in a black finish.

Also available will be the 120 GB hard drive and should you wish more storage you will have to splash out 129.99 GBP (191 EUR) for the replacement drive.

Personally I'd quite like more hard drive storage as I've come close to filling my drive with demos and videos on numerous occasions but I believe 129.99 GBP for a hard drive of that size is a bit too pricey.
