Concurring with comments prior... £20 is an insignificant reduction in price, I couldn't even buy a game with the extra change I'd have in my pocket were I to buy this overlarge doorstop (get the feeling I don't like the XBox? Playstation on the way from The Fat Man this year, for my kids - honest). I do agree that these price cuts are to try and boost flagging sales, but I can't see this having much impact.
More likely this marks a downturn in sales. The Wii is more expensive and still sells better than the 360. The Playstation includes a blu-ray player, is more expensive, and is at least matching the 360.
The 360 just isn't particularly remarkable and if anything, its USP (Unique Selling Point) is that, if you're lucky, you'll get to find out what the red ring of death actually is...
