Hi, just incase anybody is looking for an XBOX 360 with a 'Cheap as chips' price tag. The new European price-cut starts on Friday. The XBOX 360 Arcade (The one nobody wants) is £159.99 (was £199.99), The XBOX 360 Premium (The one with the 20GB hard drive, White) is £199.99 (was £249.99) and the Elite (The best one, 120GB hard drive, Black) is £249.99 (was £299.99). Why would you buy a PS3 for gaming now?

 Er, yes - we reported that story here many hours ago.

And you may have a valid point re gaming, but you'll find it hard to play Blu-ray discs on an XBox Stick out tongue

A valid point, but if you keep your ear to the ground there are already rumours of a Blu-Ray drive being produced for the 360

Andy, if you read the last paragraph of the Xbox story you'll see we mentioned that too! Smile

Re: XBOX 360 Bargain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I do it all the time Andy, I didn't read the XBOX 360 price-cut news. Maybe because last time I looked before I posted the topic, it wasn't on here, I don't know?!?!. If I was going to buy a Blu-Ray player though, I would buy a stand alone one, they're probly smaller and not as ugly.

P.S. My question about the PS3 was meant to be a rhetorical question, sorry I didn't make it clear.

Yeah, I think the PS3 is an ugly looking machine too.... Strange considering Sony are so impeccably turned out 99% of the time.

Fair enough, personally I think the PS3 is beautiful. Xbox is such a great games machine, but PS3 is the machine of choice for "videophiles". Just need more Blu-Rays films to come out ... like where is Death Proof and Planet of Terror?

Re: XBOX 360 Bargain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sounds a bit ironic having those 2 films out on bluray hd. but hope they bring out the grindhouse version with both films as the  extended death proof on its own does not work at all.
