News from various industry sources over various web sites suggests that the Xbox 360 is getting a €50 (around £40) price cut across the board come March 14th. Such a move would put the Xbox 360 Arcade system at a price of £150 - less than the price of the £180 Nintendo Wii in the UK. TechRadar attributes the rumor to several well-placed industry insiders, and has also claimed to have gotten confirmation from several retailers in the UK, while several other sites contacting UK retailers have failed to elicit any comment whatsoever. Still, Microsoft recently dropped the price of the 360 in Canada, so I'd say this is one rumor that will more than likely come true. Happy Easter Europe! More »

Effective today, the MSRP of the Xbox 360 HD DVD add-on is dropping from $179.99 USD to $129.99. The price drop effects the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. As Microsoft's Larry Hryb points out, once you figure in Microsoft's ongoing five free HD DVD movie offer, which is still in effect until the end of this month, they you've got one hell of a good time to get in on the Betamax of the 21st century!

In his defense, he did indeed say "Sometime this week?" tentatively before following his instincts off a precipice to be dashed on the rocks below. A Sony Computer Entertainment Europe representative has since been in touch with the folks at GamesIndustry.biz to reveal a major announcement regarding the PlayStation 3 dropping this Thursday at E3. No specifics were given of course, but the rep did state it would be related to the North American price cuts and model shuffling officially announced this weekend. More »
