Yesterday the Xbox360 Core pack received an official price drop of £10 in United Kingdom, and now costs £199. The Core pack doesn’t include a hard a hard drive and a wireless controller. Should you chose to buy those items separately, it would cost you more that the Premium bundle (retailing at £279.99).

Microsoft contacted distributors and told them the cut the price by ten pounds, in order to get under the 200 quid. It has a certain physiological impact on buyers of course, but also simply because the Core pack isn’t that popular among gamers.
