Good fortune may soon be smiling on our European friends according to a report on Tech Radar that says the Xbox 360 will be getting a 50 Euro price cut on every SKU on March 14. Citing "numerous well-placed games industry sources," that have been corroborated by European retailers, the price cut rumor has yet to be confirmed or denied by Microsoft.If true, the premium Xbox 360 package would be priced at € 250 ($380) while the Arcade pack would ring it to around €197 ($300). This would mean that the Xbox 360 Arcade SKU would sell for less than the popular Nintendo Wii, which in most cases is available for around € 234 ($356) on Amazon's UK site.
While we haven't been able to substantiate these reports, we will keep you informed as soon as new details emerge.

I wonder if it will coincide with the fact that the original xbox debuted on that day 6 years ago? In Europe, the country in question, anyways.

i just bought a new, second 360. and i can't return it as i bought a premium and traded in the HDD seeing as i already had one on my other console. I could have bought a brand new one for the same price i paid for this if i only waited a week longer.
