Deep Euro XBox 360 Price Cuts Coming?

The internet is aflame today with rumors that all versions of the 360 will get a €50 ($76) price cut in Europe by March 14th—which would make the Arcade system cheaper than the Wii in the UK. With any luck this could be a sign of things to come in the US. [GamesIndustry.biz via Kotaku]

Could this be the holy grail price 199/299/399 we've been waiting for? Will the PS3 respond with a 299/399 price? Will the Wii bring its price down to 199 in response to all this to avoid being a middle priced console? Find out next time on DRAGONBALL Z!

they'll be so cheap you'll want to pick up 2 or 3! actually, i recommend you pick up 2 or 3. it's best to always have a 6 month supply.

Considering that the both the euro and the pound are doing so well against the dollar, it is highly likely that the USD price cut will take a little longer. After all, Microsoft is paid in USD, so a price cut on euros would not be as hard to swallow as a price cut in dollars.

I swallowed three dimes once, but never a whole dollar, and I don't even know what a "euro" tastes like.

Don't they do this to match the euro to the falling (worth less / worthless) dollar?

@essentis: you could play the waiting game but either way your going to kick yourself over any product about 6 months down the road when you see how much cheaper it is. I suggest buying one if you really want it.
