Gamer.tm is reporting that an industry insider has told them that Microsoft will announce a price cut for Europe next week that will bring the Arcade to £129.99, the 60GB to £169.99 and the elite to £229.99. That will mean that the 60GB console will be the same price as the wii, which will be an absolute bargain for anyone who hasn't got a 360 yet. The site says they don't know when the price cut will come into place, but speculates that it may be the friday after the announcement, which would be the 26th of september.

Euro 360 price cut
"Thats a steal. I may make my move to 360 gaming! RRoD puts me off everytime thlough :("Same here...i think of buying another elite but the damn RRoD makes me not .
But gears is so closeeeeeeeeeee i might take the risk =(
"i heard about this; i don't think it's going to make a huge difference in sales.I dunno. Its coming up to Christmas and money can be tight, some parents might buy their kids 360 arcades instead of wii's to save money. I doubt it'll seriously dent the wii's popularity, but it might have a small effect.EDIT: difference between x-box and wii."

I took the risk lol, I bought mine a few day's ago and am having a blast with it. If it does RR, then I'll play my PS3 while I wait for Microsoft to fix it.
BTW, Gears of War is one of the best games I''ve ever played. I can't wait for the second installment, I have my Limited Edition version on pre order.
Aren't the new 360s stocking the shelves now though? I know they had made alterations to teh console to try to cut back on the amount of RRoDs they were getting. I thought they had pushed those all out to market by now.
