Nintendo Wii Price Cut Coming To The UK
September 28, 2009
What’s that? The Nintendo Wii is finally getting a price cut? Well sat here in Europe we suffer a little in the UK when it comes to international releases: more often than not we are the last of the major technology players to get the latest stuff – behind the US, Japan and occasionally small tribes in Outer Mongolia.
This rule also applies to price cuts and yet again we find that Nintendo have seen to the US before us, however I doubt many people will be complaining because at least it has actually managed to jump the Atlantic. Yes, this is the news that the Nintendo Wii price cut is coming to the UK!

With the growing economic gloom and redundancies galore we are well overdue some good news and our good friends at Zavvi have helped us into a happier Christmas by dropping the price of the Xbox 360 to below the £100 mark. Admittedly it is just by one penny (the price tag now reads £99.99) but it is still a £30 drop on the previous £129 price, which itself was a substantial drop on the original release price.
There are many things that you could read from this, and many conclusions to be drawn, so lets start as high up the hierarchy as we can, with Microsoft. This price drop is similar to those that you often see at this time of year as manufacturers make a desperate attempt to ship as many failing products as they can; but the cheap Xbox 360 is most definitely not failing and over the Christmas period has probably out sold its nearest rival the PS3.

Cheap Xbox 360?
April 10, 2008
What do you think to a cheap Xbox 360 bargain? I say bargain because you can now pick up a cheap Xbox 360 for less than the cost of a Nintendo Wii.
Admittedly this is for the cheapest Xbox 360 Arcade model of the console which doesn’t come with a hard disk drive, but does use the wireless Xbox 360 controllers. So this means that Microsoft have now priced an Xbox 360 model as the cheapest console out there.

April 28, 2007
The Sony Playstation 3 (PS3) console was expected to have a price drop at some point, everyone’s looking to buy a cheap PS3, but who would have thought you would be seeing the PS3 console dropping in price from the UK launch price of £425 to a cheap bargain starting price for Sony PS3 console bundles at around £300 just 6 months later!
One of the reasons I suspect for this will be the comparatively high cost of the Sony PS3 console since it’s launch in comparison to it’s Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii console rivals which are both outselling it. The reported sales of the PS3 console in the UK and how they fell since the launch week was something that was discussed here on the Zath – I think it was because the launch price was anything but cheap!
