The Xbox 360 will not be receiving a price cut in the UK this Christmas, Microsoft has told MCV.
It emerged this morning that $50 has been slashed off the price (http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/xbox-360-prices-slashed-in-us/0104526) of both the 4GB and 250GB versions of the console in North America. And shortly after that we learnt that Nintendo was slashing the RRP of the Wii (http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/now-wii-gets-a-us-price-cut/0104535) in the territory.
But when asked by MCV whether we’d see anything similar in the UK, Microsoft simply sent what it described as a “full list of Xbox bundles available this holiday”.
The SKUS on the list were:
250GB Holiday Value bundle inc. Skyrim and Forza 4 - £199
250 Kinect Holiday bundle including Kinect, Kinect Adventures, Dance Central 2 and Kinect Sports - £299
4GB Kinect Holiday Value bundle including Kinect, Kinect Adventures and Kinect Disneyland - £249
4GB Kinect and Nike+ Kinect Training bundle - £269
320GB Halo 4 Limited Edition console - £269
4GB White Gloss bundle - £149
Nintendo, meanwhile, has told MCV that it has "nothing to announce in the UK at the moment" regarding a possible Wii price cut.
Sony made its Christmas move last week when its new 12GB Super Slim PS3 arrived on the High Street for under £160 (http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/get-the-12gb-ps3-super-slim-for-under-160/0104457) at a number of retailers.
