PS3 and Xbox 360 pricecuts

The PS3 has had a price cut already and Xbox 360 is on offer aswell, not a major bargain but worth pointing out.

From IGN

Quote:
Two major UK retailers have cut the price of the PlayStation 3 less than two weeks after the launch of the console. WH Smith and Play.com have slashed the price of the machine from £424.99 to £399.99.

WH Smith advertised the drop in The Sun newspaper, no doubt to catch the attention of parents looking to get their kids something a bit more special than a chocolate egg this Easter. Whereas, Play.com is offering the console for the same price but is also throwing in an HDMI cable and a copy of Click on Blu-ray.

At the time of writing no other retailers have folowed suit, although many are expected to. And while WH Smith`s offer is scheduled to end on April 19, Play.com is offering the console for £399.99 for the forseable future.

Additionally, tomorrow - Good Friday - the console price craziness is set to continue, with Play.com telling us that it`s planning to offer the Core Xbox 360 for just £149.99 - £50 lower than the RRP - and is dropping the price of the Premium Xbox 360 from £279.99 to £249.99. You`ll have to be quick though because the offer only lasts until April 10 and stock is likely to be extremely limited.

The HDMI cable and that awesome film Click though push it closer to £45 off I suppose, not bad for a machine that`s been out less than a month.

:B
Wait six months and they will down another £100, only the must have pingots pay top price for this overpriced toy. Blu-ray will pale into insignicance in 2 years it’s the betamax of the video world.

Or wait 12 months and play for free it wont be long before an effective hack comes along, not that I condone piracy it’s despicable. :D
