Microsoft has announced an official price drop for its Xbox One console. From 28 February, the Xbox One will cost £399.99 in the UK, £30 cheaper than on launch.

In addition, the company will release a Titanfall special edition Xbox One bundle, which will launch with the game on 14 March, and that is available for pre-order for the same price, £399.99, from today.
