Comments on: Microsoft increase price of Arcade 360 in UK http://www.godisageek.com/2009/08/microsoft-increase-price-of-arcade-360-in-uk/ God is a Geek :: UK's Leading Game News Portal Tue, 07 Feb 2012 00:50:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Asim Tanvirhttp://www.godisageek.com/2009/08/microsoft-increase-price-of-arcade-360-in-uk/comment-page-1/#comment-112 Asim Tanvir Mon, 17 Aug 2009 21:49:46 +0000 http://www.godisageek.com/?p=1646#comment-112 Yeah I agree with you all. Rather than entice people into buying their products during the current economic climate they are pushing them away. The arcade bundle was £129.99 with the five free games which was fantastic value, now it will be £159.99 without the free games. <br><br>Saying that though I guess they can afford to do this without looking too bad to the general consumer. At £159.99 it is still cheaper than the Wii and the PS3 so while increasing the price is poor on Microsofts part it makes decent business sense. Yeah I agree with you all.

You can't find Xbox360 Arcade Consoles without bundle packages any more. Before the weekend you could grab one for £89.99 at <a href="http://Play.com" rel="nofollow">Play.com</a> or Game. Now they're £134.99 with some crappy game. It's too late. You can't find Xbox360 Arcade Consoles without bundle packages any more.

Why is the UK always raped when it comes to currency exchanges between the US or Europe. Come off it... So now's the time to stock up on pads and buy that spare xbox360.
