According to the Inquirer.net, UK wholesaler, Makro, is selling the Xbox 360 premium pack for the same price as the core pack (£199). Our friends at DCEmu inform us that the Inquirer neglected to mention that Makro lists its prices without including VAT (that's a tax, for non-UK readers), so the real price is £235. Considering the premium pack normally costs £279, it's still a considerable savings. You must have a membership card to shop at Makro, but if you've got one (or have a friend who does) you could do much worse than a £45 discount.The Inquirer goes so far as to suggest that Makro's price reduction could be indicative of an overall price drop for the Xbox 360 (as hinted at recently by Steve "Developers!" Ballmer). Sure, it's possible, but we'd be surprised if we see an overall price cut before the holidays.

You can get two game bundles for £280, £233 + £80 is more then that its not a great deal if you intend to actually buy some games, there are great bundle deals in the uk at present already

Or PC World were doing a web online price of £249 and you could collect in store. Got one Friday for a friend but cannot find the offer now.

Question: Why do you keep giving us these deals where we can save money when we buy 360s...Id say near enough 95% of the people who visit this site own 360s

You'd be surprised how many don't. I read this site months before I ever got mine.

You can only shop at Makro if you have a Makro card. And you can only get a Makro card if you own your own buisiness.
