Heh heh - they’ve put them back how they were! Looks like someone got their wrists slapped for jumping the announcement gun.

@tonka - Christmas, I reckon. Pachter said he’d expect them to cut later this year to get it back in line with 360.

@blerk - You’re still the win. Looks as though we were first in the world with it.

How about Nintendo. They havn’t adjusted their price one penny. AMOF the price has gone up since release in many stores.

Whizzo at EG tipped me off, I can’t claim all the credit.

I reckon Sony will make a large cut later this year. They’ll be aiming for a big boost at Christmas. I reckon this is Microsoft getting as much value our of GTA as possible.

I agree - the 360 is now very competitively priced - even the Premium against the Wii (ignoring the Arcade) would make many people think twice.

Once again the PS3 feels left out in the cold as the most expensive machine by quite a margin. At the very least, they need to keep pace with the Elite.

In time for the Easter break, I guess.

Wow!

Seems like strange timing though…

Would have thought that they’d wait until closer to the GTA IV release.

only a real spaz would buy the arcade. At least it comes with some flash memory.

It is, yep.

wonder if the HDD is still 70 quid.

It’s really good, yep. The Premium for £189.99 is a steal, definitely.

These are very good prices. I know we said Sony probably wouldn’t respond, but looking at that I think they need to.
