Microsoft has announced big price cuts for the XBox 360 in the US, Japan and other areas.

But would you just guess, in Blighty prices will remain at their current level.

The cuts mean that the Xbox 360 Arcade will drop to $199 (£112), the standard Xbox 360 to $299 (£168) and the Xbox 360 Elite to $399 (£224).

This will take the Arcade even cheaper than the Nintendo Wii.

A quick look on Amazon shows that UK gamers will have to fork out £150 for the Arcade, £190 for the standard version, and £250 for the Elite.

Microsoft have also made the statement: "Pricing is handled on a region-by-region basis. We do not have a price drop in this region [theUK] to announce."

Thanks guys!
