Microsoft increase price of Arcade 360 in UK
£30 more for this, without the free arcade games. Awesome.
Several retailers have today confirmed that Microsoft are going to increase the price of the Arcade Xbox 360 bundle from £129.99 to £159.99 on September 1st. As if the £30 increase wasn’t enough the bundle will now no longer include the five free arcade games. Reports also suggest that the price of Xbox 360 accessories will be raised by one or two pounds. Apparently these increase in prices is down to the pound being weak compared to the Euro. Hmm where have we heard that excuse before?!
Interestingly enough the email which was recieved by retailers only mentioned the Aracde and Elite bundles. There was no news regarding the Premium Xbox 360 (the one with the 60GB hard drive) which adds strength to claims that the bundle will be discontinued.
