There are currently several rumours flying around the net that there could be a large price drop for the Xbox 360.
Rumour has it Microsoft might be planning another rather significant slashing of prices for its console again, with the ‘entry-level’ arcade model suggested to be a bargain basement $199 (£100).
The PS3 seems to be gaining momentum recently so this could help Xbox maintain sales.
Microsoft have been having a lot of problems recently with its live service however it has not stopped them selling a whole load of 360s during the Christmas break.
Apparantly the company has shipped 17.7 Million Xbox 360 Consoles since its launch 2 years ago. On September 30 the figure was apparently at 13.4 million meaning they have sold over 4.3 millions units from October onwards. Pretty impressive really.

Anyway, Microsoft has confirmed you’ll get a whole five free HD-DVDs when you splash out a mere £114.99 on an Xbox 360 HD-DVD drive. With hi-def movies clocking in at around £25, you’re basically getting the drive for free. When you hand over your cash, you’ll fill in a form choosing five out of thirteen films. Films include Serenity, Children of Men, Swordfish, The Prestige and Full Metal Jacket. Having to wait 28 days is a bit annoying but I think I am sold, I already have a 360 so I am only forking out £114.99 for a HD player AND 5 films, bargain! Read the rest of this entry »
