Microsoft is cutting the European price for its Xbox 360 games console by 50 euros to 349.99 euros ($470), following a similar cut in the United States.

The company said in a statement on Monday that the lower price would be effective from August 24. It also plans to launch a new model, Xbox 360 Elite, that will ship with a 120 gigabyte hard disk and cost 449.99 euros.

The price of the entry-level model Xbox 360 Core will be cut by 20 euros to 279.99 euros, Microsoft said.

The new UK Prices are

The accessories will cost
£129.99 for the 120GB HDD
£32.99 for the Black Wireless controller

only difference with premium and elite is 100gb and costs £50 for that as the premium is starting to ship with hdmi now.

play.com have lowered their price of the premium to £229.99 now http://www.play.com/Games/Xbox360/4-/659411/XBox-360-Premium-Console/Product.html

they have added the elite @ 299.99 and core at 179.99 like their prices will be, the premium is at a nice price now tho.
