Xbox 360 Elite price cut to PS3 slim fighting £199.99
The Xbox 360 Elite has had £25 lopped from its price to drop to £199.99. We predicted the move yesterday and it's a clear response to the newly economical PS3 Slim. The Xbox 360 Elite is now £50 cheaper than the Slim.
If you were hoping to grab an Xbox 360 Arcade, you'd better be quick, its price is in fact going up. The hard drive-less Xbox 360 Arcade will now set up back a slightly galling £160.
The price changes take effect from August 28, so if you want to save some cash go and grab an Xbox 360 Arcade right now. If you've been after a 60GB Xbox 360 Pro, you'd better hurry with that too – Microsoft's discontinuing the model all together.
So, will you stump up £250 for the new PS3 Slim with its Blu-ray smarts or swing for the newly economical Xbox 360 Elite? Review our 5 things you need to know about the PS3 Slim and let us know in the comments.

£200 for a consloe, which is almost past its prime. The PS3 is still king as for an extra £50 you get Blu-ray and Wi-fi.
Also, i've just seen the old PS3 80GB in Morrisons for £240... bargin!

Don't really see how it's past it's prime, Natal will extend it's life by at least about five years, programmers are just now making the most of it's potential, and crucially it's got a killer app the ps3 doesn't have....good games.
Yes the ps3 is still king, in third place...
