Xbox 360 price cut in Europe, how will this affect sales?

Only thing with a Blu-Ray drive for the 360, if it's seperate like the HD DVD one is, it really won't encourage people to buy a 360 for Blu-Ray. It will really just encourage people to buy a Blu-Ray player for their 360. It might be enough to prompt some 360 owners to not buy a PS3, but it will likely have a minimal effect on 360 sales.

I agree with this. It "may" persuade a person here and there to get a 360 over the PS3 if they like the 360's games more, but there wouldn't be a sudden surge in 360 sales.

That's why I think they should incorporate the BD drive into an SKU. They always said they wouldn't make a 360 with an HD DVD inside...they never said anything about blu-ray.

It should help them....slightly but its obviously clear where M$ bread and butter lies
