Xbox, the future generation video game system from Microsoft, is celebrating with a new European price. Effective from today, Xbox will retail at an estimated street price of €199.99/£129.99 in the UK.
"We had a great Christmas and firmly established ourselves as the number-two console player in this region," said Peter Moore, Corporate Vice President, Worldwide Retail Sales and Marketing, Home and Entertainment Division, Microsoft. "We outsold some very long-established competition and enjoyed near sell-out status, gaining market share along the way. This price change shows we are not content to rest on our laurels – we will continue to be aggressive in building upon this momentum throughout the year.
Xbox has exceeded the two million console mark in Europe, placing it well ahead of Nintendo's GameCube.

The BPI's executive chairman Peter Jamieson said: "EasyInternet Café is liable for a clear and profound breach of copyright and I am glad that Stelios has seen sense and agreed to settle this case."
Stelios Haji-Loannou said: "The BPI originally asked for a million pounds' damages so at least they've settled for a 92 per cent. What is interesting is that they preferred to settle rather than to test whether they can continue to enforce the prohibition of music downloads."
"I think this is the warm up lap since I suspect I will be back in court with the same people, the media giants, when easyCinema has to sue the film distributors for basically the same thing, restrictive practices at the expense of the consumer."
