Hopefully it will be! According to several games industry sources and UK retailers, all 360 SKU’s will be receiving a €50 price cut (£38.26) on March 14th. A couple of weeks back, Canada saw a similar price drop, with the Elite and Premium SKU’s being cut by $50, and the Arcade being cut by $20.

The most interesting aspect of this price drop is that the Arcade SKU will become cheaper than the Nintendo Wii, according to Amazon, by around £30.

    Wow, it's really getting cheap! I wish the PS3 price would fall as much. More, even.

      It's not going to happen. It's called Blu-Ray. Even at 400 dollars for the PS3 that's a steal considering the average Blu-Ray standalone player price is about 300-400. So for 400 dollars you get one of the best and most capable Blu-Ray players out there plus a next gen console.

        And it's £299 ($550) for the 40GB in the UK.

        They can definitely lower that price.

        Shame I don't want a blu ray player. A next gen console is just fine.

          The problem is that PlayStation 3 games are also on Blu-Ray discs.

    Surely it would've been the Irish retailers seeing as the UK doesn't use Euro's.

      Sorry, I didn't do the exchange rate bit. It would be �38.26 at the current exchange rate. The UK retailers just meant the date. If an approver wants to add the exchange rate in parenthesis, that would be great.

    Good, this will pressure Sony to reduce the price of the PS3, which is what I want as I plan to get one soon.

      It says 50 Euros. I believe its only in the UK or in Europe.

      I've not heard anything for a price drop in the US. I don't think we will see a major one soon anyways.
