British gamers were wondering when would they get the Elite or would Microsoft cut the price of the Xbox 360 in the UK? All those questions have been answered as Microsoft has said that Xbox 360 Elite will be available in the UK and have confirmed the price cut for the other versions of the Xbox 360.
Here are the new pricing details of the Xbox 360 in the UK:
Stephen McGill is the head of gaming and entertainment at Xbox UK. He explains, “We are pleased to be able to offer Xbox 360 at a new, lower estimated retail price. We pioneered the successful concept of multiple products for multiple categories of consumer. First-timers will love the Xbox 360 Core system, which offers an affordable entry into high-definition gaming. The Xbox 360 Elite, with its large hard drive and wireless controller, will appeal to casual and experienced gamers and families. The Xbox 360 opens up whole new avenues of entertainment for those who seek the ultimate gaming and entertainment experience.
McGill also backed the Xbox 360 to take the UK by storm in the holiday period of 2007. The new pricing of the Core and Premium Xbox 360 consoles as well as the availability of the Xbox 360 Elite will be effective from August 24, 2007. Along with the Elite, Microsoft will also make available accessories like the 120GB hard drive, Wireless Controller, Play & Charge kit and rechargeable battery.
