Price drops! To Europe! This Friday! For the three or four of you outside of the US who read CrunchGear.com, we thank you. Here are the numbers; according to Xbox360Fanboy, Xbox 360 Arcade consoles will drop “to £129 (€179), 60GB Pros to £169 (€239) and 120GB Elites to £229 (€299).” And again, that’ll all happen on Friday.
I love how the box has images of people engaged in predominantly outdoor activities. Would be way better if it had a picture of a kid sitting mesmerized in front of his TV playing XBox with Steve Ballmer in the background throwing a chair at a puppy.
