When do people reckon MS will cut prices? Would make things interesting if they did.

Bets on 20% price cut at least in the UK for now, maybe even more by Xmas

I reckon they'll make up the ground on the wii if they do

They're still probably feeling the 7 figure mistake with the 3RL problem, I don't think they really need to price drop yet even if the PS3 does come down, £280 for a premium & a couple of games can't be grumbled at.

Around the time of the elite release I expect to see permanent cuts in 360 premium prices.

You can pick up Premuims for £229 online now. How low can they go?

They've been that low for a while now, if you think its like £279 with a game or 2 then dropping the extra games its about the same price. I think They will announce a price cut after Halo 3 is released to generate more console sales after the hype of Halo 3 has died down a bit.

I'm expecting them to go sub £200.

Agree, i think they'll sell as many on the back of Halo 3 as possible and then drop the price in time for an assault on the xmas market.

Could be a good period for MS if they play their cards right.
