"The UK video games war stepped up another notch this morning, as Microsoft followed today`s news of a PS2 price-cut by reducing the price of its own console.
From this Friday (August 30th) the Xbox will retail at £159.99 (approximately Euro 249). Sony, meanwhile, has announced that the PlayStation 2 will come down from £199 to £169 as of midnight on Saturday (August 31st).
"The games industry is looking very good at present. It`s an exciting time for all of us and we believe that this price move is great news for Xbox," said Microsoft`s Euro Xbox boss Sandy Duncan."
