UK, August 20, 2007 - After already announcing Xbox 360 price cuts in North America and Australia, Microsoft has finally announced that the UK is getting a reduction too. As from Friday August 24, the Premium pack will be knocked down by 30 notes to 249.99 GBP and the Core console will cost 179.99 GBP - a saving of 20 quid.

Alongside the reductions, Microsoft also revealed that the Elite, which launches this Friday and comes with a 120GB hard drive and HDMI port, is set to cost 299.99 GBP. Although, if you just want to pick up the larger 120GB hard drive on its own, you can expect to pay 129.99 GBP.

Stephen McGill, head of gaming & entertainment, Xbox UK said: "We're pleased to be able to offer Xbox 360 at a new, lower estimated retail price. We pioneered the successful concept of multiple products for multiple categories of consumer. First-timers will love the Xbox 360 Core system, which offers an affordable entry into high-definition gaming. The Xbox 360 Elite, with its large hard drive and wireless controller, will appeal to casual and experienced gamers and families. The Xbox 360 opens up whole new avenues of entertainment for those who seek the ultimate gaming and entertainment experience."
