Microsoft drops Xbox 360 Core price to 199 quid

"UK retail has confirmed to GamesIndustry.biz that Microsoft has officially dropped the RRP of the Xbox 360 Core pack to £199, effective from today," reports GamesIndustry.biz.

Comment: It's not much of a drop -- £10 -- and as with Sony's recent price cut on the PS2, more a recognition of the status quo: some retailers were already selling the Core pack for £199.99. However, it does publicly bring the first of the next-gen games consoles under the pychologically important £200 mark.
