360 Premium price drop??

Demon · 13 Feb 2007 at 09:42

I've just noticed a trade only wholesaler just offering a Premium 360 for £199 + VAT!.. is this indicating a price drop? I wasn't aware MS had dropped the price yet?

MODS: This thread is only to discuss the possibility of an upcoming price-cut, not to promote any competition, the public cannot buy from this wholesaler, so I assume this is OK to post here?

Don't forget any company that buys from the wholesaler is going to have to jack up the price to make any sort of profit.

There is no official price drop yet, nor do I think there will be.

More likely is a revised price structure in the event of the rumoured newer version 360 with a larger HDD being released.

If the new version does get released, I would think that would then become the £270 system and the current premium would be reduced somewhere closer to the current core price.

This wholesaler has always sold the 360 at the correct street price, it's not the sort of place people buy stuff to sell on as such, it's more to get large catering packs of stuff..

I don't know if it's in preperation for a 360v2 or MS getting ready for a price drop a week before the PS3 is released
