Xbox 360 price drop?

Moogman · 18 Jun 2008 at 12:51

I am looking around for 360 deals and the cheapest I can find is a 360 pro with halo 3 for £199.99. Is there a rumoured price drop or should I just buy now?.

No price drop rumours that I'm aware of, although with E3 imminent who knows what they'll announce.

Wait for any annoicements at the upcoming E3 show, its alittle expected tho.

Nothing confirmed mind.

Anyone have a big grain of salt on them?

You can get some cracking prices now. I wouldn't wait. People always seem to end up waiting too long.

When is E3 this year?

Davey_Pitch · 18 Jun 2008 at 12:55

11th-13th July I believe

Europe has had a price cut, the rumour is it'll be a US one.

I may wait until my birthday in September pick up Halo 3 and GTA4 and while away the winter on those bad boys. Is is worth getting an Elite?. I want to avoid the RROD.

There is a rumour doing the rounds about a price cut at E3 and a 60GB version.

I wouldn't wait, it's not like they will slash 50 quid off it, maybe 10/20 at most, is it worth waiting for the sake of tenner?

cu3ed · 18 Jun 2008 at 13:05

What if the premium 20gb is replaced with the 60gb for the same price tho?

What you gonna do with an extra 40gig? Ask the people with the Elite how much of their 120GB they actually use.

I have a 20GB and still got 9gig free. And the 360 wont let you copy files to it so it is pointless.

I'd wait till E3 personally.....May get tripple the HD for nowt, and if not you have lost nothing

monkeyspank · 18 Jun 2008 at 13:07

They recently dropped the prices so I doubt they will do again in the near future. It wasn't long ago that the core console was 200 on it's own

Exactly what I was thinking. It may be worth holding out.

Elite has nothing but a bigger HDD over a Pro, go for the Pro.
RRoD seems to have been almost completely cut out on new ones, you really don't see many failures of new units on here. I think I've seen one.

Yep. Totally pointless.

Moogman · 18 Jun 2008 at 13:17

Well I have £50 saved only another £150 to go. I miss the days of disposable income.

stealthgeek · 18 Jun 2008 at 13:34

Just to clarify, its 10% of the difference, not of the total cost.

how do people have 9 gigs free?, I seem to be hovering around 1.5 gigs free. Maximum I can free up is 2gigs at the moment (finding space for battlefield demo was a challenge)

Davey_Pitch · 18 Jun 2008 at 14:03

I've got 88GB free

You must have a lot of add-on packs?

Red and Black for R6Vegas is 1.5gb for example.
