Microsoft will raise the price of the Xbox 360 in the UK in order to “counteract the poor pound-to-Euro currency exchange rate.” UK gamers will have to pay £159.99 ($260) for the Arcade model, up from £129.99 ($211).
On top of that, the five Xbox Live Arcade games won’t be included in the bundle any more.
Now, why Microsoft use this as an opportunity to throw in a small-ish hard drive, assuming that the Pro model is, indeed, phased out, leaving only the Arcade and Elite? That sure would be nice, but there’s no way to tell if that’s true or not.
This is what you get when you reward Microsoft by buying their crappy hardware, they kill the competition with their FUDStorm, and then raise prices, flood you with adverts and charge you to play online…
LOL, All the Xbots used to say that having just a Playstation monopoloy was bad. I consider a world where Microsoft rule the roost with Xbox a million times worse…
good give it some value because the 360 is the best game console out their
