Microsoft's new lower prices for its Xbox 360 family of consoles in Europe have gone into effect today.

With a new low entry-level price of £129.99, we were interested to know if this would tip Pocket-lint readers into taking the Xbox plunge.

In our latest reader poll, we asked "Does the Xbox 360 price cut tempt you to buy?"

It seems the low pricing has just about won you over with 52% saying yes and 48% answering no.

Microsoft now describes the Xbox 360 as "the true home of mass market entertainment with something to offer for every interest and budget".

As from today, the new prices are £129.99 for the Xbox 360 Arcade console, the standard model with 60GB hard drive and one wireless controller will set gamers back £169.99.

The top-of-the-line Xbox 360 Elite, which comes with a 120GB hard drive is on sale for £229.99.

  • I'm going to get the Arcade now, it's cheaper than the Wii and I am interested to see what its all about - have always been a PSer. Posted by Rob, Uk
  • You should shell out the extra and get the Premium 60Gb not the Arcade. It's still cheaper than the the Wii (which also has its merits imo). Wired controllers, no proper Xbox Live and no HDD? Future proof yourself a bit. I love my Premium, even with a 20Gb. I was a PSer until I tried 360.. I wouldn't go back :0) Posted by Rawseagull, UK
  • I have to admit MS has set them selfs up for a good christmas this year. If they can market the Arcade to the casual crowd through advertisements and decent casual games then Nintendo MAY and I said MAY have to retaliate with a price cut of their own. Posted by Dale, England, where else?
