A snip -- and a PS3-undercutting £400 bundle with an Xbox 360 also on the cards
Although official confirmation has yet to arrive, Microsoft is almost certain to give its add-on HD-DVD drive for the Xbox 360 a price-tag of £199 in the UK.
GI.biz quotes "retail sources" as confirming the price-point, and adds that they expect Microsoft to launch a bundle consisting of the Xbox 360 and the HD-DVD drive at under £400 (which will comfortably undercut the £425 PlayStation 3, not that Microsoft really needs to worry about such things). In addition, it appears that the HD-DVD drive will be bundled with two HD-DVD movies.
Expect official confirmation of the above following Microsoft's X06 shindig in Barcelona in a fortnight's time - which, of course, we'll be covering for you.
