That's £129 for an Xbox 360 Arcade. About a week's shopping if you avoid the value ranges and like a beverage or two, or a tank of petrol. It's hard to imagine there ever being a better bargain in the history or future of mankind.

And as well as the hard drive-less Xbox 360 Arcade getting a price cut, the rest of the range has been super-discounted too. The regular 60GB Xbox 360 is now a fantastic £169.99, while the Xbox 360 Elite and its 120GB HD is £229.99 from Friday. Here's how Microsoft announced it this morning...

"From Friday, 19th September, Xbox 360, which includes a 60GB hard drive and one wireless controller, will have an ERP of £169.99. The Xbox 360 Elite, which comes with a massive 120GB hard drive enabling consumers to store huge quantities of content downloaded from Xbox LIVE Marketplace as well as their own music, will have an ERP of £229.99. The Xbox 360 Arcade console, perfect for those wishing to make their first foray into the gaming and entertainment world of Xbox, will have an ERP of £129.99."

That rumour is now stamped TRUE and Xbox 360 is extremely well positioned to fight PS3 - and perhaps even damage Wii a little - this Christmas.
