Yesterday, we pointed out that Xbox 360 Premiums were being sold for £45 less than the standard list price in the UK. Today, we bring you a deal for the Xbox 360 Core system. Usually priced at £199.99, Play.com is slashing the Core's price by 50 quid. This brings it down by a quarter of the cost to £149.99. So, if you don't want to grab a premium for £235, you can get a Core system for £85 less than that. We'll keep you posted if any other retailers decide follow suit after Ballmer's observation.

From what we can tell, Play.com and Amazon includes VAT in their pricing, so the savings are legitimate.[Via CVG]
